Adds the changelog as a Fern changelog folder under Platform, linked from the navbar, backfilled with the customer-facing documentation changes from August 2026. This is phase 1 of the changelog effort: the page and its content only. The collection, classification, and rendering pipeline that produced most of these entries stays on august-20260813-auto-changelog and lands separately, so the published changelog can be reviewed without the machinery behind it. Entries for 2026-08-05 through 2026-08-19 come from that pipeline's batches. The 2026-08-28 entry (Brand Identity Verification, #543) is hand-written — it merged after the last batch window closed.

The August entries were written as a documentation changelog — titles like "New guide for AI tool calling" and "AI post-prompt and debug webhooks fully documented" describe authoring activity rather than what a customer can do. This is a product changelog, and Product, Marketing, and PMs are being onboarded to write against it, so the eight entries are the pattern they will copy on day one. Follows Fern's own convention: short noun-phrase titles, the capability in the first sentence, one to three sentences, links inline instead of a trailing "Updated pages:" list. The substantive change is a breaking change the backfill omitted. On 2026-08-13 the implicit TTS engine moved from gcloud to elevenlabs, so every AI agent that never set a voice changed voice. The 08-17 fix routes bare Google-shaped IDs back to gcloud but does not restore the no-voice default, and bare Azure names still resolve to gcloud. That is now the lead entry for 08-13, behind a titled Warning. The one clause that previously covered this area framed it as documentation hygiene. Other corrections found against specs/ history and the engine source: - Only groq-tts is new among the six TTS engines; playai-turbo was already failing in production rather than being retired while working. - Rime coda gained sampling parameters, which affects callers already naming it directly. - SWML request signing is three years old on the voice path but only dates to June 2026 on messaging. - The AI chat guide is still a .draft and not in nav, so the 08-17 entry no longer claims it exists. - The 08-19 AI reorganization removed pages; the entry now says old URLs redirect, which is what a reader holding a bookmark needs. "Already available" is kept only where leaving it out would mislead — a security control that might read as newly added, payload fields that might read as newly arriving, a compliance gate that might read as a new requirement. A capability nobody was told about is new to the reader however long it shipped ago. Adds _template.mdx for PM authors and a Changelog section to CLAUDE.md carrying the same conventions. Verified: yarn fern-md-check passes on 2832 files; yarn fern-check is back to the expected auth-gated redirects error; every /docs link checked against the target page's own slug frontmatter.
