+## [1.4.3] - 2026-06-30
+
+### Added
+
+- **Respect `c8`/`istanbul` ignore hints in E2E and merged coverage** — `processAllCoverage` now strips statements, functions, and branches annotated with `// c8 ignore next`, `/* c8 ignore next */`, `/* c8 ignore start */.../* c8 ignore stop */` (and `istanbul` variants) from E2E coverage before generating reports. `nextcov merge --strip` applies the same stripping to merged coverage. This makes E2E and merged reports consistent with Vitest, which respects these hints at collection time.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bump dev dependencies** — Updated `@eslint/js`, `eslint`, `typescript-eslint`, `@playwright/test`, `@types/node`, `rimraf`, and `tsc-alias` to latest versions.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Pin TypeScript to `^5`** — TypeScript 6 breaks tsup 8.x's DTS generation (`rollup-plugin-dts` does not yet support TS6), causing `.d.ts` files to be silently omitted from the build output. TypeScript is pinned to `^5` until tsup adds TS6 support.
