+no changes to commit
+
+
+## 2026-03-18 - 1.22.0 - feat(web-appstore)
+add an App Store view for quick service deployment from curated templates
+
+- adds a new App Store tab to the web UI with curated Docker app templates
+- passes selected app templates through UI state into the services view for quick deployment
+- supports quick deploy creation with prefilled image, port, environment variables, and optional platform service flags
+- updates @serve.zone/catalog to ^2.8.0 to support the new app store view
+
+## 2026-03-18 - 1.21.0 - feat(opsserver)
+add container workspace API and backend execution environment for services
+
+- introduces typed workspace handlers for reading, writing, listing, creating, removing, and executing commands inside service containers
+- adds frontend backend-execution environment integration so the service view can open a workspace against a selected service
+- extends Docker exec lookup to resolve Swarm service container IDs when a direct container ID is unavailable
+
 ## 2026-03-17 - 1.20.0 - feat(ops-dashboard)
 stream user service logs to the ops dashboard and resolve service containers for Docker log streaming
