+The module runs inside the resident process. This experimental feature supports **one active
 pair of computers**, with the neighbour on the left, right, above or below.
 Several trusted pairs may be saved, but only the selected neighbour is active.
 Clipboard and file transfer are not implemented yet.
 
 ## Set up two computers

+1. Update both PCs to v0.6.56 or newer using Update in the tray menu. Preserve local data; do not copy pairing identities between PCs.
-   Exit the regular KSwitcher before starting this copy; only one resident runs
-   per Windows session. Each copy keeps its own data beside the executable.
 2. Open Settings → Tools → KSwitcher computers and enable discovery on both PCs.
    Only running LAN-enabled KSwitcher instances appear, not generic network devices.
 3. Match the computer name and instance-ID prefix displayed on the other PC.

 # Latest Windows release
 
-## v0.6.55 — 2026-11-06
+## v0.6.56 — 2026-11-06
 
 ## Changes
-- Fix long snippets failing in ChatGPT and Codex desktop editors when only part of the trigger was selected. Selection now uses paced key events in these applications.
+- Experimental, opt-in LAN mouse and keyboard sharing inside the existing resident process; no extra service.
-- Recover a partial snippet selection only when the copied text matches a suffix of the trigger in a recognized keyboard layout. Verify the complete trigger before replacing it; preserve surrounding text and restore the clipboard. Far Manager keeps its dedicated selection path.
+- Discover running KSwitcher instances and pair them using the same generated code on both PCs. Trust is DPAPI-protected locally, outside settings sync/export.
-- Existing cross-layout trigger recognition and binding one snippet to multiple applications remain supported. Clarify these behaviors in the bilingual snippet guide; no new syntax or settings are required.
+- Arrange the active neighbour left, right, above or below. Select opposite sides on both PCs; mouse and keyboard transfer together through that screen edge.
+- Authenticated AES-256-GCM input channel; Ctrl+Alt+Esc emergency return, disconnect recovery and held-key release.
+- One active pair. Clipboard/files and remote secure desktops are not supported. Stop MWB before using input sharing. Disabled by default.
 
 ## Validation
-Passed targeted native partial-selection recovery, including the ChatGPT process selection policy, 776 settings/chat-profile checks, 568 input checks, 332 native checks, 126 sync checks, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress checks. The reporter confirmed successful expansion in the actual chat, including typing in another layout. The broader snippet suite encountered foreground loss in its buffered Enter scenario; that run is not counted as passing. Release package, version, checksum, updater and published Wiki verification are performed as part of publication.
+124 input/channel, 41 pairing/configuration/network and 813 settings/chat-profile checks passed before release preparation. Full release regression passed: 124 LAN input, 34 LAN pairing (41 with network lifecycle), 813 chat/settings, 568 input, 332 native, 126 sync, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress. Physical two-PC validation is pending: network tests use loopback and input-state tests simulate desktops. LAN sharing remains experimental; follow LAN-PREVIEW.md on both PCs.
 
 ## Upgrade and compatibility
 Choose **Update** in the tray menu. Legacy v0.3.0–v0.4.1 clients first receive the v0.4.2 compatibility bridge, then the current full release. v0.2.3 and earlier require manual installation.
