+## [0.7.0](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/compare/v0.6.4...v0.7.0) (2026-10-19)
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+- deferred task function operation handlers must retain taskFunctionOperationId
+  or the original taskFunctionProperties reference. Replies without recoverable
+  identity reject after the original cohort settles.
+
+### 🐞 Bug Fixes
+
+- align task lifecycle and runtime contracts
+  ([#196](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/issues/196))
+  ([bf36bca](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/commit/bf36bca457e0cfc3bd54f175bb6aaa45d1ca9d4b))
+- **pool:** keep idle stealing retries on their worker
+  ([#188](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/issues/188))
+  ([b246ef3](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/commit/b246ef37ae59a591686df92a135f8d53f595d8e7))
+- **pool:** settle tasks after worker failures
+  ([#186](https://github.com/poolifier/poolifier-web-worker/issues/186))
