-## Unreleased
+## v1.3.0 — 2026-07-02
+
+Minor release. Headline: **shared/external MemPalace** — the `mempalace.ts`
+bridge can now point at one MemPalace HTTP server (`MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL`,
+optional `MEMPALACE_REMOTE_TOKEN`) shared across containers/harnesses instead of
+a per-container local palace; ships `docker-compose.mempalace.yml` for the
+server. Also ships the **`nano` + `micro`** non-modal editors and a **CI
+workflow-lint layer** (Gitea-accurate sh-vs-bash guard + actionlint/shellcheck),
+with the `docker-publish.yml` bash-defaults and `promote-base-latest` shell
+fixes. pi stays `0.80.3`; the base image rebuilds (the mempalace-toolkit ref
+advanced and `Dockerfile.base` gained nano/micro), so the new bridge and editors
+land in `base-<hash>`.
