+## [1.4.2] - 2026-03-17
+
+### Changed
+- Tray icon color now reflects watcher + API health rather than unit ages — green=API OK, amber=API disabled, red=API failing, purple=watcher error.
+- Status menu text updated to show `Running — API OK | N unit(s) | scan Xm ago`.
+- Units submenu removed from tray — status tracking for individual units is handled by terra-view, not the watcher.
+- Unit list still logged to console and log file for debugging, but no OK/Pending/Missing judgement applied.
+- `watcher_status` field added to heartbeat payload so terra-view receives accurate watcher health data.
