+## [secmem-crypto/v0.2.0] - 2026-07-19
+
+Dependency-only release. `secmem-crypto` now requires `secmem` v0.2.0, so code
+that imports only this module picks up the read-only crash fix below — v0.1.0
+of this module pins `secmem` v0.1.0 and would otherwise keep resolving the
+faulting core.
+
+No `secmem-crypto` source change: the only additions since
+`secmem-crypto/v0.1.0` are the `FuzzSignerLifecycle` state-machine fuzzer and
+its seed corpus, both test-only. It is a **minor** bump rather than a patch
+because this module's exported API hands back `*secmem.SecureBuffer` values,
+so raising its `secmem` floor to v0.2.0 raises the minimum for every consumer
+too — a dependency-graph change they should opt into deliberately
+(`gorelease` classifies it the same way).
