 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-17 - 4.8.10 - fix(remoteingress-core)
+guard tunnel frame sends with cancellation to prevent async send deadlocks
+
+- Wrap OPEN, CLOSE, CLOSE_BACK, WINDOW_UPDATE, and cleanup channel sends in cancellation-aware tokio::select! blocks.
+- Avoid indefinite blocking when tunnel, stream, or writer tasks are cancelled while awaiting channel capacity.
+- Improve shutdown reliability for edge and hub stream handling under tunnel failure conditions.
+
 ## 2026-03-17 - 4.8.9 - fix(repo)
