  Chord publishes a dated, publicly readable product changelog on LaunchNotes,
  archived monthly back to November 2021. It is a PRODUCT changelog, not an API
  changelog — entries describe platform and Chord AI behaviour, and no entry in
  the recent window names an endpoint, a schema change, or a breaking API change.
  There is no RSS/Atom feed (both /rss and /feed.rss return 404) and the page is
  JS-rendered, so the entries below are transcribed from the rendered index on
  2026-08-13 rather than parsed from a feed. A separate SDK changelog for
  @chordcommerce/analytics is kept at docs.chord.co/chordcommerceanalytics.
