     - Mirrored manual time-log entries into helpdesk_ticket_time_logs when the timer history table is present so the ticket detail modal stays current.
     - Updated TicketTimeLogTest to use authorised Helpdesk fixture users and lookup data instead of ad-hoc users that fail the ticket update policy.
     - Kept the pricing-free dashboard test baseline and preserved append-only changelog history.

+- version: 1.9.51
+  date: 2026-06-24
+  type: bugfix
+  summary: Stabilise Helpdesk ticket create rich editor and single-click submit.
+  changes:
+    - Changed the reusable Helpdesk rich editor to defer Livewire body synchronisation instead of sending a server request for every keypress.
+    - Added a submit-capture synchronisation hook so the latest Details content is included before TicketCreate validation runs.
+    - Removed the duplicate keyup synchronisation path that could leave Create Ticket disabled while typing.
+    - Disabled browser autocorrect and autocomplete on the contenteditable editor while preserving native spellcheck support.
+    - Updated regression coverage for deferred editor sync, submit sync and keypress race prevention.
+    - Preserved append-only changelog history.
