Release Notes

A running, hand-curated digest of what shipped in Client-Contracts, grouped by calendar month (newest first). Each entry links to its work item, the merging pull request, and the merge commit.

Maintenance. Once a month, an engineer sweeps the merged PRs from git log --merges --first-parent main and prepends a new section to this file. Internal-only changes (CI tweaks, dependency bumps, untracking files) are filtered out; user-visible features and bug fixes are kept. Edits to this file ride in their own PR — there's no auto-generation.
