 ## Unreleased
 
+### Added
+
+- Wire shared browser declarations into TypeScript configurations during installation. Create a configuration when absent, update ordinary JSON configurations without discarding existing settings, and provide manual guidance for JSONC and inherited or referenced projects.
+
 ## 0.18.0 - 2026-09-15
 
 ### Breaking changes

+    9. Wire Volt client types into TypeScript configuration
+
+    The installer checks `tsconfig.json`, `assets/tsconfig.json`, and
+    `assets/js/tsconfig.json`. Ordinary JSON configurations retain their settings
+    and receive explicit declaration files, even when dependencies are excluded.
+    When none exists, the installer creates a root configuration from a template.
+
+    JSONC and configurations using `extends` or project references are left
+    unchanged with guidance to include `deps/volt/priv/types/client/**/*.d.ts`
+    (relative to the browser configuration). No local `ImportMeta` declaration
+    is needed.
