note: >-
  Verily publishes dated product release notes for Workbench, not semantic API versions. The notes cover
  the product surface (UI, CLI, cloud apps, governance policies); they do not call out breaking REST API
  changes, because there is no publicly documented REST contract to break. Per-service build numbers are
  published separately at /api/<service>/version. The entries below are the recent window as read on
  2026-09-02; the page carries a longer history.
