 # HomeCore Controller Changelog
 
+## 0.1.13
+
+- Fixes HomeCore self-update architecture for Home Assistant OS.
+- Home Assistant Supervisor intentionally blocks an app from updating itself directly.
+- HomeCore now asks Home Assistant Core to run the supported `update.install` action for the HomeCore Controller update entity.
+- Keeps repository validation, backup-before-update, restart recovery and completion reporting.
+- Automatic rollout remains disabled; deployment is still manual and per-controller from HomeCore Admin.
+- No functional home-control changes from 0.1.12.
+
 ## 0.1.12
 
 - End-to-end validation release for HomeCore Admin manual per-controller updating using the Supervisor `admin` API role.
