 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-08-08
+
 ### Added
 
 - Homebrew installs via `brew install fixture-dev/tap/lash`. Each release
   publishes a generated formula to the `fixture-dev/homebrew-tap` repo, covering
   macOS and Linux on both x86_64 and arm64.
 
+### Fixed
+
+- File watcher shutdown is now synchronous: dropping the handle signals the
+  debouncer, drops the watcher, and joins the thread, so no path can be emitted
+  once `drop` returns.
