 ## Session History
 
+### Session 12 — v1.0.4 Template Render Filter (2026-02-11)
+
+**Completed:** Added `wp_bootstrap_should_render_template` filter to `TemplateController::render()` for clean plugin/theme separation.
+
+**What was added:**
+
+- New `wp_bootstrap_should_render_template` filter at the top of `TemplateController::render()` — returns `true` by default, but plugins can return `false` to prevent the theme from rendering a request
+- Enables the wp-jobroom plugin to handle its own custom post types and routes without the theme's `TemplateController` racing to render first
+- Theme remains 100% standalone — the filter is a no-op when no plugin hooks into it
+
+**Key learnings:**
+
+- WordPress `template_redirect` hook priority ordering is the primary mechanism for plugin/theme rendering coordination: plugin Router at priority 5, theme TemplateController at default priority 10
+- Adding a simple filter check (`apply_filters('wp_bootstrap_should_render_template', true)`) is the cleanest decoupling mechanism — no cross-project class detection needed
+
 ### Session 11 — v1.0.3 Conditional Page Title (2026-02-11)
 
 **Completed:** Made `<h1>` on page template conditional to prevent double headings when plugins provide their own titles.
