Changelog
This page documents release-note governance, not a canonical public release history. The reference set for this prototype includes the QA sign-off checklist and the internal compatibility matrix, but it does not include tagged release notes or a verified `CHANGELOG.md` timeline.
Current status
The prototype documentation set does not contain a canonical public changelog, tagged release history, or verified release note archive. Inventing versions, dates, or supporting artefacts here would overstate what the repository currently proves.
What the repository does provide is a release-note QA process: compatibility-sensitive notes must cite the internal matrix and must avoid claiming support beyond its status labels.
Release Governance
Every release that modifies client-facing behaviour requires a QA sign-off statement. The repository checklist requires it to:
- Link to
docs/internal-compatibility-matrix.md - Confirm the affected matrix rows were reviewed
- Confirm the evidence listed in the matrix still matches current behaviour
- Record any newly discovered deviations in both the release notes and the matrix
Reviewer prompts
Reviewers are expected to ask whether the matrix and the release notes still agree.
- Are supported clients and required toggles unchanged from the matrix?
- Are any behaviour changes still marked
PartialorPlannedin the matrix? - Do release notes avoid claiming support that is not present in matrix status?
QA sign-off statement
QA sign-off: compatibility matrix reviewed at docs/internal-compatibility-matrix.md Deviation recorded in docs/internal-compatibility-matrix.md
Compatibility source of truth
For current support claims, use the compatibility page and the internal matrix it mirrors. This page stays focused on the release governance contract until a verified public changelog exists in the repository.
