+## [1.4.1.0] - 2026-01-12
+### Improved
+- **Mock Context Isolation**: Redesigned mock tracking to use local context containers within `withMock` and `runMockT`. This significantly reduces reliance on global registries and thread-local storage, ensuring better test isolation and predictability.
+- **Optimization Resilience Guidance**: Added detailed documentation on choosing between `mock` and `mockM`. For functions returning `IO`, using `mockM` is the recommended way to ensure stability under GHC optimizations (like CSE) without requiring extra compiler flags.
+- **Robust Registration logic**: Re-implemented internal mock registration using a capability-based approach (`RegisterMock` and `HasMockContext`), making the library's core architecture more robust and easier to maintain.
+
 ## [1.4.0.0] - 2026-01-10
 ### Changed
 - **Breaking Change**: Removed the verify fallback mechanism that searched thread history when `StableName` lookup failed.

+#### mock と mockM の使い分け
+
+対象となる関数の**戻り値の型**に合わせて選択してください。
+
+*   **`mock` (純粋な関数向け)**:
+    *   `String -> Int` のような**純粋な関数**をモックする場合に使用します。
+    *   Haskell の遅延評価を尊重し、「実際に結果が評価されたタイミング」で呼び出しを記録します。これにより、使われていない無駄な呼び出しをカウントしてしまうのを防ぎます。
+
+*   **`mockM` (IO/モナディックな関数向け)**:
+    *   `String -> IO Int` のような、**`IO` や `ReaderT IO` などの `MonadIO` インスタンスを返す関数**をモックする場合に使用します。
+    *   記録処理が戻り値のアクション（`IO`）自体に組み込まれているため、高度な並列テストや強力な最適化がかかる環境下でも、非常に高い予測可能性を提供します。
+
+> [!TIP]
+> 迷ったときは、**「ターゲットの関数が IO を返すなら `mockM`、そうでないなら `mock`」** と覚えておけば間違いありません。

 | Function | Verification (`shouldBeCalled`) | IO Dependency | Characteristics |
 | :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
 | **`stub`** | ❌ | None | **Pure Stub**. No IO dependency. Sufficient if verification isn't needed. |
-| **`mock`** | ✅ | Yes (Hidden) | **Mock**. Behaves as a pure function, but internally manages call history via IO. |
+| **`mock`** | ✅ | None (External) | **Mock**. Behaves as a pure function. Automatically records history. |
 | **`mockM`** | ✅ | Yes (Explicit) | **Monadic Mock**. Used within `MockT` or `IO`, allowing explicit handling of side effects (e.g., logging). |
+
+#### Choosing between `mock` and `mockM`
+
+Choose the function according to the **return type** of the target function.
+
+*   **`mock` (For Pure Functions)**:
+    *   Use this when mocking **pure functions** like `String -> Int`.
+    *   It respects Haskell's lazy evaluation and records the call only when the result is actually evaluated. This prevents counting unnecessary calls that were never executed.
+
+*   **`mockM` (For IO/Monadic Functions)**:
+    *   Use this when mocking functions that return **`IO` or other `MonadIO` instances** (such as `ReaderT IO`), like `String -> IO Int`.
+    *   Since the recording logic is built directly into the returned action (`IO`), it provides extremely high predictability even in highly concurrent tests or environments with heavy GHC optimizations.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> When in doubt, remember: **"If the function returns IO, use `mockM`. Otherwise, use `mock`."**
