 ## v2026.08.31 - Initial public CX Portal baseline
 
-Public portal baseline for scoped QWS measurements on Fugaku and RIKYU, with
-public-safe result pages and Portal-managed main-branch triggers.
+Initial public portal surface with result browsing, comparison, system
+information, and release visibility.
 
-- Public result browsing, comparison, and system catalog pages are available in
-  public portal mode.
-- Public mode hides operator-only views, raw result JSON routes, trigger
-  internals, and environment snapshot detail.
-- Portal-managed triggers submit scoped main-branch measurements with an
-  explicit result-server destination.
-- Build cache restore checks source identity, host build environment, and
-  restored artifact integrity.
-- Branch and tag source inputs record the resolved commit used for the build.
-- Manual GitLab CI is reserved for development and release-candidate validation,
-  not production main results.
+- Browse public benchmark results from the portal.
+- Open public-safe result detail pages.
+- Compare selected public results.
+- Browse connected system summaries.
+- Show the deployed portal version in the shared footer.
+- Open a public Changes page with broad release notes.
