# v0.1.21

- added fail-fast value verification to plain `fill` steps so the framework reads the value back after filling and fails when the control does not retain it
- added fail-fast value verification to JSON form-fill input paths used by `When I fill the form from "..."`
- exposed shared locator-value helpers for readback and mismatch reporting
- added regression coverage for fill verification mismatches and documented the new fill behavior in the README and step reference
