+## 5.2.0-3 (2026-05-10)
+- Fix qBittorrent restart loop: remove s6-notifyoncheck (notification-fd 3 EBADF when not running under s6-rc), discover binary path dynamically across LSIO image layouts, remove `/dev/stdout` redirect that fails on some ARM runtimes, align with upstream LSIO run script (WebUI address from config, LSIO_NON_ROOT_USER)
+- Fix Dockerfile: add missing `-i` flag to `sed '11,13d'` so default config lines are actually removed at build time
+
 ## 5.2.0-2 (2026-05-10)
 - Fix qBittorrent restart loop: remove s6-notifyoncheck (avoids notification-fd EBADF crash) and discover binary path dynamically across LSIO image layouts
