+## [0.4.0] - 2025-11-11
+
+### Added
+- Full Laravel environment setup in `build-assets` job to support Laravel Vite plugins
+- PHP, Composer, and .env configuration in the build-assets job
+- Artifact upload/download mechanism to share built assets between GitHub Actions jobs
+- `build-assets` job now properly generates `vendor/autoload.php` before building frontend assets
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed build failure when Laravel Vite plugins require PHP artisan commands during asset compilation
+- Fixed missing Composer dependencies causing "vendor/autoload.php not found" error during npm build
+- Fixed artifact sharing issue where built assets from `build-assets` job were not available in `deploy` job
+
+### Improved
+- GitHub Actions workflow now properly isolates and shares build artifacts between jobs
+- Better dependency management between jobs (deploy now depends on both tests and build-assets)
