+## 2025-08-29 - 2.2.1 - fix(tests)
+Remove redundant manual topic handlers from tests and rely on server built-in pub/sub
+
+- Removed manual server.onMessage('__subscribe__') and server.onMessage('__publish__') handlers from test/test.ts
+- Tests now rely on the server's built-in publish/subscribe behavior: clients publish directly and subscribers receive messages
+- Test code simplified without changing public API or runtime behavior
+
 ## 2025-08-29 - 2.2.0 - feat(ipcclient)
 Add clientOnly mode to prevent clients from auto-starting servers and improve registration/reconnect behavior

+## 2025-08-29 - 2.1.4 - feat(transports)
+Add client-only mode to prevent unintended server auto-start in Unix/NamedPipe transports; safer probing
+
+- Add `clientOnly?: boolean` to transport options; when true (or `SMARTIPC_CLIENT_ONLY=1`), a client will fail fast on `ECONNREFUSED`/`ENOENT` instead of auto-starting a server.
+- Update `SmartIpc.waitForServer()` to probe with `clientOnly: true` to avoid races during readiness checks.
+- Extend tests to cover option and env override; update core test to use unique socket path and auto-cleanup.
+- Docs: add README section for client-only mode.
