  Structured capture of GitHub's dated changelog filtered to the Actions label.
  GitHub ships product changes continuously and posts them to the changelog; the
  REST API itself is versioned separately by date (X-GitHub-Api-Version). This
  records the recent window; the live changelog is the source of truth.
