summary: 'A dated, static, crawlable changelog with one URL per entry - 37 entries from 2025-02-18 to 2026-09-02,
  roughly monthly. Entries are product notes rather than versioned releases: the API is path-versioned (v1/v2) and
  the Swagger document declares info.version "2.0", but no release identifier is attached to changelog entries.
  Every change in the recent window is additive; the one deprecation (output_format in favour of output_formats)
  is soft and both fields still work.'
