 ## Current Version
 
-**v1.2.5** — 2026-08-05
+**v1.2.6** — 2026-08-05
 
 ## Changelog
 
+### v1.2.6 — 2026-08-05
+- **fix**: dead admin callback buttons — `prod_district_` (Back to Categories after adding category, pipe-delimited format) and `admin_users` (Back to User List) now registered
+- **fix**: no-op placeholder buttons (`current_page`, `current_quantity`, `no_action`) no longer log "No handler" warns
+- **fix**: `getLocationsByCountryAndCityAdmin` added (admin sees disabled locations in nav)
+- **audit**: all 78 generated callback_data cross-checked against registered routes — no overlaps, none missing
+
 ### v1.2.5 — 2026-08-05
 - **fix**: crypto deposit error — handleDepositInstruction/handleDepositSelectWallet use editOrSendCallback (photo-safe fallback, fixes "no text in the message to edit" 400)
 - **fix**: chat clutter — lastInlineMessageId tracked in showProducts/showProfile/showBalance/showPurchases and deleted in resetUserContext
