+## [0.17.3] - 2026-09-15
+
+### Changed
+- Removed the `lunarphp/stripe` dependency in favour of depending on `stripe/stripe-php` directly.
+  `Modules\Core\Payment\Drivers\StripePaymentDriver` had already replaced every bit of Lunar's own
+  Stripe payment flow (checkout, webhook processing) with its own — all that remained load-bearing
+  from the package was raw API-client access, amount conversion, and a correlation table, none of
+  which are Lunar-specific. Added first-party replacements: `Modules\Core\Payment\Support\
+  StripeManager` (API client + `toStripeAmount()`/`fromStripeAmount()`), `Modules\Core\Payment\
+  Models\StripePaymentIntent` (now with a proper `context` array cast, replacing manual
+  `json_encode`/`json_decode`), and `Modules\Core\Payment\Http\Middleware\
+  StripeWebhookMiddleware`. Added `database/migrations/..._create_stripe_payment_intents_table.php`,
+  a first-party copy of the vendor migration (guarded with `Schema::hasTable()` so it's a no-op on
+  any environment that already has the table from the vendor package's own earlier migration run,
+  and only actually creates it on a genuinely fresh install). No behavior change for consuming
+  apps — same table, same driver contract, same webhook endpoint.
