 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Security
+
+- **BREAKING:** `isSessionStillValid` now requires the id_token `iss` claim
+  to be both present AND in the Google allowlist. Previously, an id_token
+  with no `iss` claim bypassed the allowlist via short-circuit evaluation
+  (CWE-345). Surfaced by the 2026-05-21 adversarial second-pass audit.
+- `handleAuthResult` now also rejects a `type:'success'` response whose
+  id_token carries a missing or non-Google `iss`, so the acquisition path
+  enforces the same trust boundary as rehydration (post-fix review).
+
+### Migration
+
+- Sessions persisted under the previous lenient check (legacy installs that
+  may have stored an iss-less token) will be rejected on first launch after
+  upgrade and the user will be redirected to `/login`. The SecureStore
+  blob is purged automatically — no manual cleanup required.
+- The release commit subject uses the `!` SemVer-major marker. Treat the
+  next release tag accordingly.
+
+### Tests / CI
+
+- Test count: 19 → 49. Coverage: 80.2/62.5 → 93+/77+ (statements/branches).
+- `npm audit` threshold raised from `critical` to `high`. CI, CD pipelines
+  (`cd-android.yml`, `cd-ios.yml`), and the weekly `maintenance.yml` job
+  will fail at the audit step until the Expo SDK 52 → 55 upgrade lands.
+  Intentional forcing function; not a CI regression.
+- The `Build verification` step (`npx expo export --platform web 2>/dev/null`)
+  was removed — it swallowed errors and produced a false-green signal.
+  Web export is a non-goal per README.
