notes: >-
  Kuaishou publishes two dated change logs and neither is an API changelog in the conventional sense.
  Kling AI keeps a release-notes section with 30 entries; the index and the URLs are public and dated,
  but each entry's body is rendered client-side and could not be read, so the highlights below are
  taken from the provider's OWN llms.txt version ladder rather than paraphrased from pages we could not
  see. The Kuaishou Open Platform publishes an operating-rules change log, which is a policy log, not
  an API log. No breaking-change register exists for any surface.

  body_note: >-
    Release-note bodies load via JavaScript; the sitemap gives URLs and a single shared lastmod of
    2026-05-05 rather than per-entry publication dates. Several entry slugs encode their own date
    (2025110722, 2025103072, 2025091961, 2025082114, 2025072499, 2025062678, 2025052696, 2025041522,
    2025032754, 2025012318), indicating roughly monthly releases through 2025.

    record of endpoint additions, parameter changes or removals.
