+# Elsa 3.7.0-rc1 — Release Notes
+
+Compare: [`3.7.0-preview1...3.7.0-rc1`](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/compare/3.7.0-preview1...3.7.0-rc1)
+
+---
+
+## ✨ New features
+
+### Modular server runtime
+
+- **Elsa.ModularServer.Web**: Integrated `Elsa.Workflows.Runtime.Distributed` and configured all shells with the core workflow, runtime, management, distributed runtime, and API shell features. ([e7eaa4b1fe](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/e7eaa4b1fe))
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Improvements
+
+- **Elsa.ModularServer.Web configuration**: Updated the modular server sample configuration to route the default shell at the root path, add HTTP activity base URL settings, and include SQLite identity persistence options. ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+- **Elsa.Http**: Declared `HttpJavaScriptFeature` dependency on `JavaScriptFeature` so shell feature activation includes the required JavaScript integration first. ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+- **Elsa.Workflows.Management**: Registered workflow definition export and file name sanitization services in `WorkflowManagementFeature`, making exporter services available through shell feature setup. ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+- **Elsa.ModularServer.Web logging**: Reduced noisy CShells endpoint registration logs in development configuration. ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Fixes
+
+- **Elsa.Expressions**: Fixed `GetFriendlyTypeName` for arrays of generic and nested generic types, including multi-dimensional arrays, by resolving array element types before generic formatting. ([b88af1e023](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/b88af1e023)) ([#7400](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/pull/7400))
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Developer-facing changes
+
+- **Elsa.Workflows.Management**: Shells using `WorkflowManagementFeature` now receive `IWorkflowDefinitionExporter` and `IFileNameSanitizer` registrations by default. ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+- **Elsa.ModularServer.Web**: The sample modular server now references `Elsa.Http` and `Elsa.Workflows.Runtime.Distributed`, reflecting the expected feature set for distributed runtime and HTTP activity configuration. ([e7eaa4b1fe](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/e7eaa4b1fe)) ([ad90e81af9](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/ad90e81af9))
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Tests
+
+- Added coverage for `TypeExtensions.GetFriendlyTypeName`, including non-generic types, generic types, arrays of generic types, nested generic arrays, multi-dimensional arrays, and square bracket formatting. ([b88af1e023](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/b88af1e023)) ([#7400](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/pull/7400))
+
+---
+
+## 🔁 CI / Build
+
+- Added the Claude Code GitHub Actions workflow, enabling repository maintainers with write access to trigger Claude Code from issue and PR comments. ([8ee0b43b34](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/commit/8ee0b43b34)) ([#7411](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/pull/7411))
