 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-18 - 19.2.3 - fix(certificate-management)
+Fix loss of route update callback during dynamic route updates in certificate manager
+
+- Extracted certificate manager creation into a helper (createCertificateManager) to ensure the updateRoutesCallback is consistently set
+- Recreated certificate manager with existing ACME options while updating routes, preserving ACME callbacks
+- Updated documentation to include details on dynamic route updates and certificate provisioning
+- Improved tests for route update callback to prevent regressions
+
 ## 2025-05-18 - 19.2.2 - fix(smartproxy)
 Update internal module structure and utility functions without altering external API behavior

+## Dynamic Route Updates
+
+When routes are updated dynamically using `updateRoutes()`, SmartProxy maintains certificate management continuity:
+
+```typescript
+// Update routes with new domains
+await proxy.updateRoutes([
+  {
+    name: 'new-domain',
+    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'newsite.example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+      tls: {
+        mode: 'terminate',
+        certificate: 'auto'  // Will use global ACME config
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]);
+```
+
+### Important Notes on Route Updates
+
+1. **Certificate Manager Recreation**: When routes are updated, the certificate manager is recreated to reflect the new configuration
+2. **ACME Callbacks Preserved**: The ACME route update callback is automatically preserved during route updates
+3. **Existing Certificates**: Certificates already provisioned are retained in the certificate store
+4. **New Route Certificates**: New routes with `certificate: 'auto'` will trigger certificate provisioning
+
+### Route Update Best Practices
+
+1. **Batch Updates**: Update multiple routes in a single `updateRoutes()` call for efficiency
+2. **Monitor Certificate Status**: Check certificate status after route updates
+3. **Handle ACME Errors**: Implement error handling for certificate provisioning failures
+4. **Test Updates**: Test route updates in staging environment first
+
 ## Best Practices
 
 1. **Always test with staging ACME servers first**
 2. **Set up monitoring for certificate expiration**
 3. **Use meaningful route names for easier certificate management**
 4. **Store static certificates securely with appropriate permissions**
-5. **Implement certificate status monitoring in production**

+7. **Monitor certificate provisioning after route updates**

 ### Success Criteria
-- [ ] ACME certificate acquisition works after route updates
+- [x] ACME certificate acquisition works after route updates
-- [ ] No "No route update callback set" errors occur

+
+### Implementation Summary
+
+The bug has been successfully fixed through the following steps:
+
+1. **Bug Fix Applied**: Added the missing `setUpdateRoutesCallback` call in the `updateRoutes` method
+2. **Tests Created**: Comprehensive test suite validates the fix and prevents regression
+3. **Documentation Updated**: Added section on dynamic route updates to the certificate management guide
+4. **Code Refactored**: Extracted certificate manager creation into a helper method for better maintainability
+
+The fix ensures that when routes are dynamically updated, the certificate manager maintains its ability to update routes for ACME challenges, preventing the "No route update callback set" error.
