## Why
We ship features but nobody knows. There's no record of what changed, no way to
share progress, and no way for users to discover new features. A changelog
serves three audiences: existing users (what's new), potential users (the
project is alive and improving), and social followers (shareable updates).
## What Changes
- Add a `/changelog` page in the Journal showing dated entries with feature
descriptions
- Changelog entries stored as markdown files in the repo (not a database) —
low friction, version controlled, works with the PR workflow
- Each entry renders as a standalone shareable page (`/changelog/2026-03-25`)
with Open Graph meta tags for social previews
- A "What's New" badge/dot on the nav bar when there are entries the user
hasn't seen
- The changelog is public (no auth required) — it's part of the product's
public face
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `changelog`: Public changelog with dated entries, shareable individual pages with OG tags, "what's new" indicator
### Modified Capabilities
(None)
## Impact
- **Files**: New routes (`/changelog`, `/changelog/:slug`), markdown entry files
in `docs/changelog/` or `apps/journal/changelog/`, nav bar update
- **Dependencies**: A markdown renderer (could reuse `react-markdown` or render
at build time)
- **i18n**: Changelog entries written in English (primary audience), German
later if needed
