note: 'No entry in the recent window is marked breaking. The log is additive and dense — 40 dated entries since
  2026-07-04 — but it is a PRODUCT log, not a deprecation log: it announces new endpoints without ever retiring
  old ones. POST /people/retrieve disappearing from the API reference the same week POST /people/enrich launched
  is announced only as an addition.'
