 # credential-handler-polyfill ChangeLog
 
+## 4.0.4 - 2026-06-dd
+
+### Added
+- Cross-browser smoke test suite (Playwright) covering Chromium, Firefox, and
+  WebKit. Verifies `loadOnce()` resolves and patches `navigator.credentials`,
+  and includes a regression guard for the non-configurable
+  `navigator.credentials` case fixed in 4.0.2 (see #51 / #52). Runs as a `test`
+  CI job alongside lint.
+
 ## 4.0.3 - 2026-06-12

+### Testing
+
+The polyfill has a cross-browser smoke test suite (Playwright) that loads the
+built bundle in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit and verifies that `loadOnce()`
+resolves and patches `navigator.credentials`. It includes a regression guard
+for the case where `navigator.credentials` is non-configurable (as on
+Safari/iOS).
+
+Install the browser binaries once, then run the tests:
+
+```
+npx playwright install --with-deps chromium firefox webkit
+npm test
+```
+
 ## Features
 
 The CHAPI polyfill provides a number of features that enable the issuance,
