 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-13 - 13.16.0 - feat(routes)
+unify route storage and management across config, email, dns, and API origins
+
+- Persist config-, email-, and dns-seeded routes in the database alongside API-created routes using a single RouteDoc model with origin tracking
+- Remove hardcoded-route override handling in favor of direct route CRUD and toggle operations by route id across the API client, handlers, and web UI
+- Add a migration that renames stored route storage, sets migrated routes to origin="api", and drops obsolete route override data
+
 ## 2026-04-13 - 13.15.1 - fix(monitoring)
 improve domain activity aggregation for multi-domain and wildcard routes
