+## [0.0.2] - 2026-09-21
+
+### Added
+
+- Automated release pipeline: a pre-merge check enforcing a semver version bump and a matching
+  CHANGELOG entry on every PR into `main`, and a post-merge workflow that tags the release,
+  packages the plugin with `shopware-cli`, publishes a Gitea Release with the packaged zip, and
+  publishes the package to this Gitea instance's Composer registry.
+- `main` is now a protected branch: no direct pushes, merges require the version/changelog check
+  to pass.
