  Dotdigital publishes product release notes as a dated "What's new" feed on the marketing site.
  It is a genuine dated changelog, but it is a PRODUCT changelog, not an API changelog: entries
  describe platform features, not endpoint additions, breaking changes or spec version bumps.
  The developer hub has a Changelog module enabled at
  https://marketing.developer.dotdigital.com/changelog and it is EMPTY (the page's own SSR
  payload reports changelogs.total = 0, and changelog.rss returns a channel with zero items).
  API-level change is therefore only visible by diffing info.version across the 42 published
  specs, which nothing on the hub summarises.

      The catalog page is titled "All OpenAPI Files for v3.5" and each spec carries its own
      info.version — e.g. Contacts 3.4.3, Insight data service 3.3.1, Events 3.1.1, CPaaS 3.5.1,
      Email campaigns 2.1.1. There is no release note attached to any of these numbers.

gaps:
  - The developer-hub changelog module is enabled but has never been populated.
  - No API-level release notes; a spec version bump ships with no note describing what changed.
  - No breaking-change or notice-period policy — see lifecycle/dotdigital-lifecycle.yml.
