+## [1.11.4] - 2026-05-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **Authenticode-signed Windows binaries and MSIs**: release artifacts are now signed via Azure Trusted Signing, so installs no longer trip SmartScreen/EDR unsigned-binary heuristics on Windows.
+- **Feature gate for selective scanning**: new feature-gate mechanism allows disabling or enabling individual scanners at runtime, giving operators a way to scope what a deployment reports without rebuilding.
+- **Invocation method + in-flight status reporting**: telemetry now records how the agent was invoked (launchd / systemd / scheduled task / interactive) and emits structured per-phase status info while a scan is running.
+- **`$HOME` expansion in configured paths**: path-style config values now expand `$HOME` (and `~`) consistently across platforms.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Windows console window flashes during scheduled scans**: the scheduled task no longer pops a visible console window on each run.
+- **Telemetry post-phase is non-blocking**: post-phase telemetry submission can no longer stall scan completion if the backend is slow or unreachable; sandbox invocation tests added to cover the path.
+- **Canonicalised `$HOME`/`~` expansion**: path expansion now goes through `filepath.Join` so the resulting paths are normalised across `/`-vs-`\` and trailing-separator edge cases.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Per-phase telemetry sub-progress incl. upload phase**: progress reporting now tracks sub-progress within each phase and adds an explicit upload phase, giving the dashboard finer-grained visibility into long-running scans.
+- **CI: on-demand test-binary + MSI workflow** added so non-release builds can be produced from a PR without cutting a tag.
+- **CI: msi-smoke workflow hardened** following StepSecurity best-practice review.
