 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added - November 10, 2025
-- **HMAC Verification Implementation**
-  - Complete HMAC-MD5 packet signing using OpenSSL
-  - Verification hash calculation with connection secret UUID as key
-  - Proper hash slot insertion in sourced packet structure
-  - writeVerificationHash() method for NLPacket class
-  - See NETWORK_PROTOCOL_INVESTIGATION.md for detailed analysis
+- **Connection Persistence Fix**
+  - Fixed Local ID byte order bug; connection now persists indefinitely
+  - HMAC-MD5 packet signing and verification implemented (OpenSSL)
+  - See NETWORK_PROTOCOL_INVESTIGATION.md for protocol details
 
-- **Local ID Parsing Fix**
-  - Fixed byte order bug: Local ID is little-endian, not big-endian
-  - Fixed offset bug: Local ID at bytes 34-35, not 32-33 in DomainList
-  - Source ID now correctly matches server assignment
-
-- **Protocol Debugging**
-  - Comprehensive packet hex dumping for analysis
-  - Server log correlation with client packets
-  - Detailed HMAC verification failure investigation
+- **Color/Texture Download Infrastructure**
+  - Color and texture data are parsed, stored, and logged
+  - Texture download and caching implemented (SHA256-based)
+  - Visual application of color/texture pending StardustXR API support
+  - See ENTITY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md for details

 - Entity queries sent to domain server when no EntityServer advertised
 
 ### Known Issues
-- **HMAC Verification Deadlock**: Connection killed after 11-18 seconds
-  - Server requires HMAC verification for sourced packets (Ping, AvatarData)
-  - Server does not initialize HMAC for new nodes (expects empty hash)
-  - Any hash value (even zeros) causes mismatch and packet rejection
-  - Cannot send non-sourced packets for keep-alive (don't update "last heard")
-  - **Root cause**: Server-side configuration issue or bug
-  - **Status**: Client implementation correct; blocked by server config
-  - See NETWORK_PROTOCOL_INVESTIGATION.md for full analysis
+- **Color/Texture Not Visually Applied**: Color and texture data are captured and textures are downloaded, but not yet visually applied to models (pending StardustXR API support). See ENTITY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
+- **ATP Protocol Not Supported**: atp:// asset protocol is not yet supported (requires AssetClient integration).
 
 ### Fixed
-- Local ID byte order: now correctly reads little-endian uint16
+- Local ID byte order: now correctly reads little-endian uint16 (connection persistence fixed)
 - Local ID offset: now correctly reads from bytes 34-35 in DomainList
 - Source ID in Ping packets: now matches server assignment
 - Domain handshake retry loop when username sent in DomainConnectRequest
