2026-08-06 — attribution epoch: the full git history (main, all release tags, and the open work branch) is rewritten to normalise commit attribution — AI-tool author/committer identities and two misconfigured machine-local identities all map to the maintainer's account, AI co-author trailers are removed, and every commit that had AI involvement carries an Assisted-by trailer (the disclosure convention; added where missing). Every rewritten commit's tree is byte-identical to its predecessor — content is untouched; only hashes and attribution change. Consequence for the record: any commit SHA cited in records, receipts, or issue threads dated before 2026-08-06 refers to the pre-rewrite history and no longer resolves from a current checkout; treat those citations as historical, keyed to the old epoch.
