+* An automated release pipeline cut 112 versions between 0.19.1 and 0.74.0 in
+  a few hours on 2026-08-29, none of which anyone asked for and none of which
+  were published to npm. The version was reset to 0.20.0 the same day and the
+  pipeline was replaced by a manually-triggered release; see the comments in
+  `.github/workflows/release.yml`. The individual "release xtctx X.Y.Z"
+  entries those runs generated are summarised here rather than listed, because
+  a reader scanning this file for what shipped was being shown 112 versions
+  that never existed.
