+## [8.2.8] - 2025-12-29
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed orphaned chroma-mcp processes during shutdown (#489)
+  - Added graceful shutdown handling with signal handlers registered early in WorkerService lifecycle
+  - Ensures ChromaSync subprocess cleanup even when interrupted during initialization
+  - Removes PID file during shutdown to prevent stale process tracking
+
+## Technical Details
+
+This patch release addresses a race condition where SIGTERM/SIGINT signals arriving during ChromaSync initialization could leave orphaned chroma-mcp processes. The fix moves signal handler registration from the start() method to the constructor, ensuring cleanup handlers exist throughout the entire initialization lifecycle.
