 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.0.11] - 2026-01-04
+
+### Changed
+- Web auth now extracts user info directly from JWT instead of syncing with core-api
+  - Eliminates CORS preflight issues with /auth/sync endpoint
+  - Decodes JWT claims (name, email, groups) client-side
+  - Bearer token will be used for API authentication
+
 ## [1.0.10] - 2026-01-04
 
 ### Fixed
