+## [0.1.7] - 2026-06-07
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 🔄 **Messages no longer disappear after sending.** Fixed a race condition where the frontend needed a separate GET request after sending a message, creating a window where socket events were dropped. The POST now returns the created messages directly, eliminating the round-trip and the race.
