 # Changelog
 
+## 1.6.2
+
+**Release date:** 2026-07-07
+
+This patch release disables Flux variable substitution on the HelmRelease CRD.
+The CRD is now annotated with `kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/substitute: disabled`
+so that Kustomizations with post-build substitution enabled no longer corrupt
+the CRD schema when it contains `${...}` sequences.
+
+Fixes:
+- Disable variable substitution in CRDs
