+## [1.7.13] - 2026-05-24
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Comprehensive OpenAPI & Swagger Specification Remediation** — Bumped the API documentation version to `1.7.13` and fully documented all operational rate-limiting configurations, exemptions, and bypasses in `server/openapi.yaml` (including general cover-art exclusions, failed-only login trackers, webhook limiters, and rate-limit exempt root health probes).
+- **Aligned Health Check Endpoint Implementation** — Enhanced the express application factory `/health` endpoint to dynamically require and return the active version from `package.json`, keeping it fully aligned with the production entrypoint server logic.
+- **Synchronized Security & System Architecture Docs** — Aligned security matrices and threat mitigations in `SECURITY.md` and rate-limiting testing configurations in `ARCHITECTURE.md`.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Swagger API Coverage Verification Integration** — Implemented comprehensive assertions within `tests/integration/swagger-coverage.test.js` to dynamically verify that all newly added logging and debug endpoints (`/api/debug/*`) are fully represented in the active specification, raising test suite coverage to 876 passing checks.

     ## Rate Limiting
-    - General API: 300 requests per 15 minutes per IP
-    - Login: 10 failed attempts per 15 minutes per IP
-    - Webhooks: 60 requests per minute per IP
+    To protect the system from resource exhaustion, rate limiters are enforced at different levels:
+    - **General API Limiter**: Enforces a limit of **300 requests per 15 minutes** per IP across all `/api/*` endpoints. 
+      - *Exemption:* Requests starting with `/api/dashboard/cover-art` are completely exempted from this limit to avoid normal dashboard image browsing triggering blocks.
+    - **Login Rate Limiter**: Enforces a strict limit of **10 attempts per 15 minutes** per IP on `POST /api/auth/login`. 
+      - *Exemption:* This limiter only tracks and counts *failed* login attempts (`skipSuccessfulRequests: true`). Successful logins do not count towards the lockout threshold.
+    - **Webhook Limiter**: Enforces a limit of **60 requests per minute** per IP on stateful webhook receiver endpoints (`/api/webhook/*`).
+    - **Health and Readiness Probes**: The public `/health` and `/ready` endpoints are mounted at the root directory level rather than under `/api/*` and are completely exempt from both rate limiting and authentication controls.
