+## 0.8.4 Scheduled Temporary Quick Thermostat start and ownership hardening
+
+- Temporary Quick Thermostat can start immediately, after a configurable delay, or at a specific local date/time.
+- Delayed sessions do not take thermostat ownership early: normal schedules and automations continue until the effective start instant.
+- Duration, safety timeout and next-schedule-boundary finish rules are calculated from the effective start, not from the time the session is configured.
+- Active temporary ownership keeps its requested target across schedule transitions and schedule edits; direct device automations and group climate changes cannot overwrite it while it is active.
+- A local Quick Thermostat can run using the zone's local Heat/Cool mode even when the inherited house climate mode is set to **Do not control**; the separate whole-house master power remains authoritative.
+- Cancelling a not-yet-started session only removes that session and does not clear unrelated quick-control state.
+
 ## 0.8.3 Temporary Quick Thermostat sessions
 
 - Adds a separate persisted timed Quick Thermostat session without reusing the existing 15-minute local-OFF hand-back timer.
