# Changelog

All notable project changes should be recorded here before or with the matching Git commit.

This project uses Git as the primary rollback trail. The `.old` convention is reserved for risky manual rewrites, legacy file replacement, or generated artifact recovery where a second local copy is useful before editing.

### Notes

- Existing Git subjects are terse because commit message input in this environment repeatedly collapsed longer subjects to `Add`. This changelog is the durable human-readable record for those early commits.
