+## Release note correction (1.1.0-RC.11)
+
+1.1.0-RC.11 (Maven Central, 2026-10-15 13:05Z) was built from release/1.1 `2e2501d` and contains #61 only. The `v1.1.0-RC.11` tag mistakenly points at `6028a66`; use `2e2501d` as RC.11's source. Cluster caches (#62) first ship in 1.1.0-RC.12.
+
 ## [Unreleased]

-Requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.8 or later (central health checks, help bundles and the spec-managed UI API extension contract).
+Requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.15 or later (central health checks, help bundles, the spec-managed UI API extension contract, and `ClusterCaches` for multi-node deployments).

 ### Fixed
+- Single-node clusters: the Quick Search index no longer asks for a replica it cannot place, so a one-node OpenSearch stays green instead of yellow and `quick_search.opensearch` is no longer DEGRADED. New `indexReplicas` (default null: automatic, `min(maxAutoReplicas, data nodes - 1)`) and `maxAutoReplicas` (default 1) config; zero config gives 0 replicas on one node and 1 on larger clusters. The target is set on every new physical index and reconciled on existing ones at startup with `PUT /<index>/_settings` when it differs (idempotent, logged; a failure is logged and reported, never blocks startup; indexes with `auto_expand_replicas` and OpenSearch Serverless are left alone). The status snapshot and the `quick_search.opensearch` health details gain `unassignedReplicaShards`, `targetReplicas` and `replicaSettingsFailed`; yellow on a single node with every primary active (only replicas unassigned) is reported UP with a note. Yellow with an unassigned primary, or on a multi-node cluster, stays DEGRADED; red stays DOWN.
+- Priming config records at startup, and recording diagnostic events, build their system session with the instance, so it has its all-access keys. Startup logged "QInstance was not supplied when creating a QSystemUserSession" once per node.
+- Multi-node deployments: a Quick Search config change (an index row, its fields or the settings row, from the admin UI or a config process) now clears the cached config on every node, not only the node that made the change. The runtime's config cache (the config store snapshot and settings, and the per-table enabled flags) is registered with QQQ `ClusterCaches` as `qbit-quick-search.config`, and `QuickSearchRuntime.invalidateConfig()` publishes a cluster invalidation. The 30 s and 60 s TTLs remain as the safety net. `QuickSearchFieldRules`' warn-once table set is registered as node-local. `QuickSearchClusterCachesTest` audits the package for unregistered static caches and covers a remote invalidation.
+- Indexing bookkeeping is no longer record-audited: the `quick_search_index` runtime fields written by basepull, full reindex and real-time indexing (status, last basepull time, document count, last run, real-time error count) and the settings row's priming outcome (`lastPrimedAt`, summary) are written with `omitDmlAudit`. On a production host these wrote about 470 "Record was Edited during process: Update search index" audit rows an hour. Admin edits to an index, its fields or the settings are still audited.
 - Real-time indexing failures now increase the table's error count by the number of failed events. Successful basepulls and full reindexes reset the count. Counter update failures are logged without failing the source write.

 ### Added
+- UI API extension quick-search 1.1.0 (requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.15, UI API 1.6.0): operationIds, standard error responses with BasicErrorResponseV1, extension tags, and retained deprecated QuickSearchErrorV1 schema. Existing operationIds and success payloads are preserved.
 - Central health checks `quick_search.opensearch`, `quick_search.backlog` and the dynamic `quick_search.index.<indexName>` supplier, all SEARCH/DEPENDENCY checks every 60 seconds. Reuses cached diagnostics with deadline-bounded waits and safe count/flag details. Includes registration, state, deadline and credential-sentinel tests.
 - Host-neutral `help/qbit-quick-search.yaml` bundle, registered through QQQ help bundles, with coverage and no-help-table tests. Replaces the temporary inline help loader; hosts can override entries with a HOST bundle.
 - Every `quick_search_*` table and the Quick Search Admin app carry help that says what the table is for and how its rows get created (`help/quick-search.yaml`, QQQ help-bundle format, applied by `QuickSearchHelp` as a stand-in for core help bundles; host help is never overridden). `QuickSearchTablesGuardrailTest` fails when a table is unused by runtime code, neither primed nor listed as starting empty, or has no such help; `QuickSearchSeededDefaultsTest` proves priming populates the config tables on a fresh backend, is idempotent and keeps admin edits.

 # TODO

+## UI API 1.6 migration (2026-10-15)
+
+- [x] Bump `quick-search` extension to 1.1.0, retain deprecated `QuickSearchErrorV1`, and use core `BasicErrorResponseV1` for errors; preserve operation IDs and success payloads.
+- [x] Regenerate the two-operation contract with `-Dquicksearch.openapi.update=true`, then pass the contract test without regeneration; no dangling references or separate baseline were found.
+- [x] Set the release BOM default to QQQ `4.1.0-RC.15`; validate offline against the locally installed `4.1.99-SNAPSHOT` using `./mvnw.cmd -o test -Dqqq.snapshot.version=4.1.99-SNAPSHOT -Denforcer.skipRules=requireReleaseDeps` (540 tests, no failures/errors/skips). The command-line exception is needed only because the requested local core is a SNAPSHOT; other guardrails remain enabled.
+- [x] Verify strengthened HTTP error-body assertions: 8 status/HTTP tests passed after the full suite.
+- [ ] Run Docker integration tests through `verify` in CI; this migration ran the requested `test` lifecycle.
