 All notable changes to Epicure are documented here. This file is mirrored in-app at `/changelog` (and in the admin dashboard) via `apps/web/lib/changelog.ts` — update both together.
 
+## 0.52.1 — 2026-07-19 14:10
+
+### Fixed
+- Steps with no timer sometimes showed a stray "0" on the recipe page, cook mode, and print views — a step whose timer happened to be stored as 0 (rather than empty) hit a JS truthiness quirk where `0 && ...` renders the literal 0 instead of nothing.
+
 ## 0.52.0 — 2026-07-19 13:55
 
 ### Added
