 ## Internals
 
-- Improved GC safety in C internals by tightening `PROTECT`/`UNPROTECT`
-  handling around allocations and replay paths. (#61)
+- Fixed potential GC protection issues in the C internals (flagged by
+  `rchk`) by tightening `PROTECT`/`UNPROTECT` handling around allocations
+  in `replay_snapshot` and `C_jgd_discover`. (#61)

-## Resubmission notes
+## Submission notes
 
-This is a resubmission addressing reviewer feedback from our previous `jgd`
-submission (jgd_0.1.0, 2026-04-25):
+This is a patch release (0.1.0 -> 0.1.1). It contains internal bug fixes
+and documentation updates only; there are no user-facing API changes.
 
-- Authors@R: Added Dave Gamble and cJSON contributors with `cph` roles
-  to properly attribute the vendored cJSON library (`src/cjson/`).
-  Copyright and license details remain recorded in `inst/COPYRIGHTS`
-  and the upstream headers are preserved in the vendored source files.
+- Fixed the unprotected-variable (`[UP]`) warnings reported for jgd 0.1.0
+  by the CRAN `rchk` checks
+  (<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalibera/cran-checks/master/rchk/results/jgd.out>).
+  `PROTECT`/`UNPROTECT` handling has been tightened around allocating calls
+  in `replay_snapshot` (`src/device.c`) and `C_jgd_discover`
+  (`src/transport.c`).
+- Documentation updates noting that the package's VS Code support is now
+  provided by the upstream VS Code R extension.
