+## [1.1.3] — 2026-08-08
+
+Patch — CORS documentation discoverability.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `mw.CORS` and `CORSAllowAll` doc comments now document the `"*"` rejection (panic) and the
+  env-gated CORS convention (`local -> CORSAllowAll`, else `mw.CORS(origins)`), so `search_symbols`
+  surfaces it — previously the convention lived only in code comments and the wire example.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.1.3.
+
+## [1.1.2] — 2026-08-08
+
+Patch — CORS wildcard hardening plus documentation fixes.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`mw.CORS` now rejects `"*"` (panics at construction)** instead of silently no-op'ing it.
+  `"*"` matched nothing (exact-match only), so a service passing it ran with CORS effectively
+  off — a silent trap. Fail loud at boot; use `mw.CORSAllowAll()` (development) or list explicit origins.
+- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.1.2.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- README Go examples now compile: `mw.Recover(logger)`, `health.NewHandler(...).ServeHTTP`, and the
+  `mw.CORS` example no longer passes `"*"`. Corrected the `CORSAllowAll` description.
+
+## [1.1.1] — 2026-08-07
+
+Patch — coordinated framework version alignment.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Bumped `contracts` and `core` to v1.1.1 (framework version alignment). No code or API changes.
