 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.8.7] - 2026-03-13
+
+- CLI: fixed a startup regression in global npm/bun installs where wrapper or symlinked `openchamber` entrypoints could exit without output on commands like `--version` or `status`.
+- CLI: hardened entrypoint detection across direct, symlinked, and shim-based launches to keep startup behavior consistent across package managers (thanks to @shekohex).
+- Windows/Web: daemon startup and Git operations no longer flash extra console windows, making background workflows less distracting (thanks to @SergioChan).
+- Deployment/Docker: improved `docker run` startup behavior and entrypoint handling so containerized installs start more reliably (thanks to @nzlov).
+

+
 ## [1.8.6] - 2026-03-13
 
 - Tunnel/CLI: rebuilt tunnel workflows around clearer managed modes and provider-aware lifecycle commands, with safer startup checks, improved diagnostics, and cleaner CLI output for everyday remote access (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).

+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **CLI users:** A startup regression in global npm/bun installs (symlink/wrapper entrypoints) is fixed in **OpenChamber v1.8.7**.
+> If `openchamber` exited without output on `--version`/`status`, update to **v1.8.7** from npm: `npm i -g @openchamber/web@1.8.7` or `bun add -g @openchamber/web@1.8.7`.
