       - Replaced browser-test Livewire internals with real UI interactions for settings sections, Select2 controls and HTML editors.
       - Kept module.json version in sync with changelog.yaml.
 
+
   "1.3.12":
     changed:
-      - Fixed ticket comment submission by forcing the Helpdesk HTML editor content into Livewire before directly invoking addComment from the form submit path.
-      - Fixed nested reply submission by applying the same editor-to-Livewire synchronisation before addReply.
-      - Updated the Helpdesk browser test so comment creation must persist a real helpdesk_comments database row instead of being masked by direct Livewire component mutation.
+      - Fixed ticket comment submission by adding a CSRF-protected native POST endpoint that stores comments through TicketService when Livewire or Flux submit handling does not call addComment.
+      - Updated the ticket detail reply form to post directly to the comment endpoint and refresh the conversation from the database after redirect.
+      - Hardened the Helpdesk HTML editor so native form submissions synchronise the latest editor content before the browser posts the form.
+      - Added feature and browser coverage proving ticket comments are created in helpdesk_comments and rendered back on the ticket detail page.
       - Kept module.json version in sync with changelog.yaml.
