 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.4.2] - 2026-02-08
+
+### Fixed
+- Telegram MarkdownV2 parsing errors (Issue #69). Replaced manual character-by-character escaping with AST-based event-driven rendering using pulldown-cmark 0.13.0
+- UTF-8 safe text chunking for messages exceeding Telegram's 4096-byte limit. Uses `str::is_char_boundary()` with newline preference to prevent splitting multi-byte characters (emoji, CJK)
+- Link URL over-escaping. Dedicated `escape_url()` method only escapes `)` and `\` per Telegram MarkdownV2 spec, fixing broken URLs like `https://example\.com`
+
+### Added
+- `TelegramRenderer` state machine for context-aware escaping: 19 special characters in text, only `\` and `` ` `` in code blocks
+- Markdown formatting support: bold, italic, strikethrough, headers, code blocks, links, lists, blockquotes
+- Comprehensive benchmark suite with criterion: 7 scenario groups measuring latency (2.83µs for 500 chars) and throughput (121-970 MiB/s)
+- Memory profiling test to measure escaping overhead (3-20% depending on content)
+- 30 markdown unit tests covering formatting, escaping, edge cases, and UTF-8 chunking (99.32% line coverage)
+
+### Changed
+- `crates/zeph-channels/src/markdown.rs`: Complete rewrite with pulldown-cmark event-driven parser (449 lines)
+- `crates/zeph-channels/src/telegram.rs`: Removed `has_unclosed_code_block()` pre-flight check (no longer needed with AST parsing), integrated UTF-8 safe chunking
+- Dependencies: Added pulldown-cmark 0.13.0 (MIT) and criterion 0.8.0 (Apache-2.0/MIT) for benchmarking

 ### Shell Command Filtering
 
 > [!WARNING]
-> Shell commands from LLM responses are filtered through a security layer before execution.
+> All shell commands from LLM responses pass through a security filter before execution. Commands matching blocked patterns are rejected with detailed error messages.
 
 **12 blocked patterns by default:**
-- `rm -rf /` — filesystem destruction
-- `sudo` — privilege escalation
-- `mkfs` — filesystem formatting
-- `dd if=` — low-level disk operations
-- `curl`, `wget` — arbitrary code download
-- `nc`, `ncat`, `netcat` — reverse shells
-- `shutdown`, `reboot`, `halt` — system control
 
-**Custom patterns:** Add project-specific blocked commands via `tools.shell.blocked_commands` in config. Custom patterns are additive to defaults (cannot weaken security).
+| Pattern | Risk Category | Examples |
+|---------|---------------|----------|
+| `rm -rf /`, `rm -rf /*` | Filesystem destruction | Prevents accidental system wipe |
+| `sudo`, `su` | Privilege escalation | Blocks unauthorized root access |
+| `mkfs`, `fdisk` | Filesystem operations | Prevents disk formatting |
+| `dd if=`, `dd of=` | Low-level disk I/O | Blocks dangerous write operations |
+| `curl \| bash`, `wget \| sh` | Arbitrary code execution | Prevents remote code injection |
+| `nc`, `ncat`, `netcat` | Network backdoors | Blocks reverse shell attempts |
+| `shutdown`, `reboot`, `halt` | System control | Prevents service disruption |
+
+**Configuration:**
+```toml
+[tools.shell]
+timeout = 30  # Command execution timeout
+blocked_commands = ["custom_pattern"]  # Additional patterns (additive to defaults)
+```
 
-**Case-insensitive matching:** `SUDO`, `Sudo`, `sudo` all blocked.
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Custom patterns are **additive** — you cannot weaken default security. Matching is case-insensitive (`SUDO`, `Sudo`, `sudo` all blocked).
+
+**Safe execution model:**
+- Commands parsed for blocked patterns before execution
+- Timeout enforcement (default: 30s, configurable)
+- Sandboxed execution with restricted environment
+- Full errors logged to system, sanitized messages shown to users
 
 ### Container Security
 
-Docker images are hardened for production use:
+Docker images follow security best practices:
+
+| Security Layer | Implementation | Status |
+|----------------|----------------|--------|
+| **Base image** | Oracle Linux 9 Slim | Production-hardened |
+| **Vulnerability scanning** | Trivy in CI/CD | **0 HIGH/CRITICAL CVEs** |
+| **User privileges** | Non-root `zeph` user (UID 1000) | ✅ Enforced |
+| **Attack surface** | Minimal package installation | Distroless-style |
+| **Image signing** | Coming soon (issue #TBD) | 🚧 Planned |
 
-- **Base image:** Oracle Linux 9 Slim (security-first distribution)
-- **Vulnerability scanning:** Every release scanned with [Trivy](https://trivy.dev/)
-- **Zero vulnerabilities:** **0 HIGH/CRITICAL CVEs** in latest release
-- **Non-root user:** Runs as dedicated `zeph` user (UID 1000)
-- **Minimal attack surface:** Only required packages installed
+**Continuous security:**
+- Every release scanned with [Trivy](https://trivy.dev/) before publishing
+- Automated Dependabot PRs for dependency updates
+- `cargo-deny` checks in CI for license/vulnerability compliance
 
-### Secure by Default
+### Code Security
 
-- **Timeout protection:** Shell commands limited to 30s (configurable)
-- **Error sanitization:** Full errors logged, generic messages shown to users
-- **No `unsafe` code:** Project policy denies unsafe Rust blocks
-- **Secrets management:** API keys via environment variables (vault integration planned, see [#70](https://github.com/bug-ops/zeph/issues/70))
+Rust-native memory safety guarantees:
+
+- **Zero `unsafe` blocks:** Project policy enforces `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`
+- **No panic in production:** `unwrap()` and `expect()` linted via clippy
+- **Secure dependencies:** All crates audited with `cargo-deny`
+- **MSRV policy:** Rust 1.88+ (Edition 2024) for latest security patches
+
+### Secrets Management
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> API keys and tokens must be passed via environment variables. Never commit secrets to version control.
+
+**Current:** Environment variables (`ZEPH_CLAUDE_API_KEY`, `ZEPH_TELEGRAM_TOKEN`)
+**Planned:** Vault integration for centralized secret rotation (see [#70](https://github.com/bug-ops/zeph/issues/70))
