contents We present \texttt{HAPS-hFF1.0}, a new global QCD analysis of unidentified charged-hadron fragmentation functions (FFs) using single-inclusive electron-positron annihilation (SIA) data together with the modern COMPASS semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) multiplicities. The COMPASS input consists of the 2025 proton-target measurement and the revised isoscalar-target multiplicities provided in the COMPASS addendum 2026. The extraction is performed at both next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), allowing us to study the perturbative stability of the QCD fit and the impact of the updated SIDIS information on the flavor structure of the FFs. We find that the modern COMPASS multiplicities can be consistently described together with the SIA data and provide important charge-separated constraints on the light-quark and antiquark FFs. The comparison between the NLO and NNLO extractions indicates a stable quark-sector determination, while the gluon FF remains less directly constrained in the present SIA+SIDIS analysis. Our results highlight the importance of the modern COMPASS SIDIS multiplicities for precision studies of unidentified charged-hadron fragmentation and for future global FF determinations. The resulting \texttt{HAPS-hFF1.0} replicas are publicly available in standard LHAPDF format.
