 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.8.45 · 2026-10-23
+
 - Ship-step contract for release pipelines (docs/ship-step.md): `play build | upload | release`, `apple build | upload | submit | resubmit` exit 0 ok, 1 failure, 2 usage, 3 needs the owner (with `error.code` and the console deep link), 4 store refused, 7 nothing to do; `--json` ends with exactly one result line on stdout, `--result-file` writes it atomically (also on failure), `--progress json` gives one JSON line per phase on stderr.
 - `--env-file <path>` loads KEY=VALUE secrets before the credentials resolve (POSIX: mode 600 or stricter) and every known secret value is scrubbed from stdout, stderr and the result file; `--version-from version.json` takes the version and build ({version, build}, {versionName, versionCode}, {marketing, build}).
 - Re-runs never upload twice: `play upload` with a versionCode Play has and `apple upload` with a build number App Store Connect has end with exit 7 and what is there; `play release` with the same release and `apple submit` of an already submitted build too.
