 - Using `characteristic :name, Diffo.Provider.AssignableCharacteristic` for pools — use `pools do / pool :name, :thing / end` instead.
 - Using the removed `AssignableValue` TypedStruct — it no longer exists; use `pools do`.
 - Calling `Assigner.assign/4` when a `pools do` declaration exists — prefer `Assigner.assign/3` which looks up the thing automatically.
-- Forgetting to call `Pool.update_pools/3` in `:define` actions when the resource has `pools do` — pool bounds (`first`, `last`, `algorithm`) are set here.
-- Calling `Assigner.assign/3` on an instance that is not in the correct lifecycle state — the assigner enforces: resource instances must have `resource_state: :operating`; service instances must have `service_state: :active` or `:inactive`. Lifecycle state transitions are an internal domain concern managed by the provider; assignment actions are external-facing. Future: consumer reads may filter out non-`:operating` resources entirely.
+- Hand-writing the `:define` / `:relate` / `:assign_*` after-action plumbing — use `Diffo.Provider.Changes.Define`, `Diffo.Provider.Changes.Relate`, and `{Diffo.Provider.Changes.Assign, pool: :name}` (since 0.4.1). The change modules thread `Characteristic.update_all/3`, `Pool.update_pools/3`, `Relationship.relate_instance/2` and `Assigner.assign/3` together and reload via the resource's primary `:read` action.
+- Hand-writing the `:create` / `:update` accept lists on a `BaseCharacteristic`-derived resource — they are synthesised from the resource's public attributes (since 0.4.1). Declare your own only when you need a narrower accept list.
+- Calling `Assigner.assign/3` on an instance that is not in the correct lifecycle state — the assigner enforces: resource instances must have `resource_state` of `:installing` or `:operating`; service instances must have `service_state` of `:feasibilityChecked`, `:reserved`, `:inactive`, `:active`, or `:suspended` (since 0.4.1). The full lists are exposed via `Assigner.assignable_resource_states/0` and `Assigner.assignable_service_states/0`. Lifecycle state transitions are an internal domain concern managed by the provider; assignment actions are external-facing.
 - Wondering why `Relationship` and `AssignmentRelationship` both have an `alias` attribute with a `[:source_id, :alias]` / `[:target_id, :alias]` identity — alias is a "baby name" given to a relationship slot before (or when) the target is bound. Its full purpose becomes clear alongside the first-order expectation system (see issue #122): the expectation declares the alias for a slot it expects to be filled, and the actual relationship carries the same alias so the two can be matched. Without expectations in place, aliases look like optional metadata; with them, they are the join key between intent and fulfilment.
 - Using `characteristic :pool_name, Diffo.Provider.AssignedToRelationship` — `AssignedToRelationship` no longer exists; use `pools do / pool :name, :thing / end` instead.
 - Querying `Diffo.Provider.Relationship` for assignment records — assignments are stored as `Diffo.Provider.DefinedSimpleRelationship`; access them via `instance.assignments`.

+## [v0.4.1](https://github.com/diffo-dev/diffo/compare/v0.4.0...v0.4.1) (2026-05-22)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **Assigner lifecycle** (#168) — broadened the lifecycle states permitted to make assignments. Services may now assign from `:feasibilityChecked`, `:reserved`, `:inactive`, `:active`, or `:suspended` (was `:active` / `:inactive` only). Resources may now assign from `:installing` or `:operating` (was `:operating` only). `Assigner.assignable_state?/1` exposes the policy directly.
+
+### Features
+
+* **`Diffo.Provider.Changes.Define` / `Relate` / `Assign`** (#170) — change modules that wrap the standard after-action patterns every Instance consumer writes. Replace the hand-written `after_action` body threading `Characteristic.update_all` / `Pool.update_pools` / `Relationship.relate_instance` / `Assigner.assign` together with a one-liner:
+
+  ```elixir
+  update :define do
+    argument :characteristic_value_updates, {:array, :term}
+    change Diffo.Provider.Changes.Define
+  end
+
+  update :relate do
+    argument :relationships, {:array, :struct}
+    change Diffo.Provider.Changes.Relate
+  end
+
+  update :assign_port do
+    argument :assignment, :struct, constraints: [instance_of: Assignment]
+    change {Diffo.Provider.Changes.Assign, pool: :ports}
+  end
+  ```
+
+  Reload happens via the resource's primary `:read` action, so no consumer-specific reader is needed.
+* **BaseCharacteristic auto-generated `:create` / `:update` actions** (#171) — `BaseCharacteristic`-derived resources now get default `:create` and `:update` actions synthesised from their public attributes. `:create` accepts `[:name | <public_attrs>]` with `:instance_id` / `:feature_id` arguments and `manage_relationship` changes; `:update` accepts `<public_attrs>`. Consumers may still declare their own actions to override the defaults.
+* **Typed characteristics and pools in Instance JSON** (#169) — `BaseInstance` now loads two new calculations (`:typed_characteristics`, `:pool_characteristics`) by default and the jason customize merges their values into the `serviceCharacteristic` / `resourceCharacteristic` array. Typed `BaseCharacteristic` records and `AssignableCharacteristic` pool records that were already present in the graph are now visible at the TMF JSON surface.
+
+### Notable Changes
+
+* `Diffo.Provider.Calculations.TypedCharacteristics` and `Diffo.Provider.Calculations.PoolCharacteristics` — new calc modules backing the JSON surfacing for #169.
+* Regression test added for #62 (characteristic update validation) — typed `BaseCharacteristic` updates now reject unknown fields and invalid types through Ash's standard changeset machinery.
