+### v1.4.1 Release Session (2026-02-03)
+
+**Accomplished:**
+
+1. Implemented localhost license bypass:
+   - Created `WC_TPP_License_Checker` class (singleton pattern)
+   - `is_localhost()` detects localhost environments: localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1, `*.localhost`, `*.local`, `*.test`, `*.example`, `*.invalid`, and private IP ranges
+   - `is_self_licensing()` compares license server URL with site URL
+   - `is_license_valid()` returns true for localhost/self-licensing without server check
+   - Updated license status display to show bypass reason
+
+2. Implemented auto-update system:
+   - Created `WC_TPP_Update_Checker` class (singleton pattern)
+   - Hooks into WordPress plugin update system (`pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins`, `plugins_api`, `http_request_args`, `auto_update_plugin`)
+   - Fetches update info from license server API endpoint
+   - Supports auto-install when WordPress performs background updates
+   - Configurable check frequency (1-168 hours)
+
+3. Added Auto-Updates settings tab:
+   - Enable Update Notifications (checkbox, default: yes)
+   - Automatically Install Updates (checkbox, default: no, requires valid license)
+   - Check Frequency in Hours (number, default: 12)
+   - Update Status display with "Check for Updates" button
+   - AJAX handler for manual update checks
+
+4. Updated all translation files:
+   - Added 23 new translation strings for v1.4.1
+   - All 7 language variants updated (de_DE, de_DE_informal, de_CH, de_CH_informal, fr_CH, it_CH, en_US)
+   - Compiled all .mo files
+
+**Key Implementation Details:**
+
+- License checker uses 1-hour cache for successful validation, 5-minute cache for errors
+- Update checker respects `WC_TPP_DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE` constant to disable updates
+- Update server endpoint: `POST /wp-json/wc-licensed-product/v1/update-check`
+- Both new classes are instantiated in main plugin's `includes()` method
+- Auto-install requires valid license (disabled when no license active)
+
+**New Files:**
+
+- `includes/class-wc-tpp-license-checker.php`
+- `includes/class-wc-tpp-update-checker.php`
+
+**Modified Files:**
+
+- `wc-tier-and-package-prices.php` - Version bump, include new classes
+- `includes/class-wc-tpp-settings.php` - Added Auto-Updates tab, updated license status display
+- All translation files (.pot, .po, .mo)
+- `CHANGELOG.md` - v1.4.1 release notes
+- `CLAUDE.md` - Updated version and session history
