Changelog — versions, in the open

Engine, indicator, site and policy changes, dated — newest first

The versioning promise Mechanization v1 is frozen. Any change to any detection parameter creates a new version with a dated entry here, and results across versions are never silently pooled. The same discipline applies to policies: material edits get an entry. If you ever find a change that didn't, that's a broken promise — call it out.

Date	Area	Change
28 Jul 2026	Engine	The same rule set now runs at three timeframe scales instead of one: intraday (4h bias, 1h zones, 15m trigger), swing (daily, 4h, 1h) and position (weekly, daily, 4h). No threshold was added or altered — only the three timeframes each rule reads are shifted up a step, so this is the frozen mechanism seen at a different resolution rather than a new one. Gold and silver perpetuals are now tracked as well. Every trade records which scale and asset class produced it, and the evaluation stays exactly where it was: the four gates are decided on the intraday crypto pool alone. The other pools begin at zero today and are kept as a separate record — blending them into the headline would have changed the number the evaluation reports without saying so.
28 Jul 2026	Engine	Tracked universe widened from 8 symbols to 24, dated and declared here as promised. Why: in its first 12.8 days the ledger closed only four trades, which would have pushed the pre-registered evaluation into late 2026 or beyond — the engine is selective by design, so the honest fix is more instruments, not looser rules. Detection thresholds are untouched and mechanization v1 stays frozen; loosening a threshold to manufacture trades is exactly the kind of tuning this evaluation exists to rule out. The added symbols are crypto perpetuals only — tokenised equity and commodity contracts were deliberately excluded — each listed at least 180 days and none below the liquidity of the smallest symbol already tracked. Trades from both periods stay in one pool and the pool's composition is stated with the verdict.
28 Jul 2026	Site	Phone layout rebuilt after measuring every page at 320 and 390 pixels wide. The ledger's nine-column table used to scroll sideways on a phone, which quietly pushed the two columns that matter most — the outcome and the net result — off the screen; each row is now a card with every field labelled and nothing hidden. The comparison table reads the same way. Form fields were enlarged so tapping one no longer zooms the page on iOS, and no page scrolls sideways at any phone width. The wide-screen layout is unchanged.
28 Jul 2026	Site	The site moved to its own domain, ardenalgo.com, served from the root instead of an IP address under a /defter path. Every old address redirects permanently to its new one, so nothing that was linked before is lost. With a stable address the pages also stop asking search engines to ignore them — the noindex tag that stood in for 'this is not its final home' is gone — and each page now carries a canonical URL, share previews and an entry in a generated sitemap. The connection is now certificate-verified rather than self-signed.
25 Jul 2026	Policy	Founding rate lock added to the billing promise on operator approval: subscribers who join from the waitlist keep their launch price for as long as the subscription runs without interruption; later price rises apply to new subscribers only. Stated without the word 'lifetime', and with its one limit — a cancelled subscription rejoins at the current rate — written into the same commitment.
25 Jul 2026	Site	Machine-readable surface added: /llms.txt summarises the site for language models with the non-negotiable constraints stated before the page map — paper ledger, unproven edge, self-reported, not advice — and /llms-full.txt dumps every threshold, rule box, policy commitment and changelog entry as plain text, generated from the same source as the pages so the two cannot drift apart.
25 Jul 2026	Site	Concept library expanded from six pages to sixteen, with a new index at /concepts. Six of the new pages document popular ICT ideas that mechanization v1 does NOT compute — breaker blocks, inducement, inversion FVGs, kill zones, OTE and power of three — each stating what the concept claims and why it is absent. Two document engine internals (displacement, equal highs/lows) and two are side-by-side comparisons. Absences are now findable instead of implied.
25 Jul 2026	Site	Concept pages now show a matched pair of live TradingView captures: one the engine marks, and one it deliberately leaves alone — a run that closed beyond its level, a gap without displacement, a structure break with no energy behind it. Each negative example was located in the bar data before the screenshot was taken, so the 'why not' is checkable rather than decorative.
24 Jul 2026	Site	Blog covers — seven hand-drawn SVG headers in the site's own palette (1–3 KB each, sharp at any zoom, editable when a threshold changes, and carrying no numbers or claims). Generated artwork is deliberately not used for anything that depicts the engine.
24 Jul 2026	Site	v8 — evidence & sales-readiness pass: ledger page gains a worked cost example, worst-trade and ledger-age tiles and the tracked universe; concept pages gain takeaway boxes, FAQs and a learning path; methodology gains a 'what we measure / what we can't' table and the exact win-counting rule; expected launch price band ($19–29/mo) published; landing page shortened. Automated test suite at this change: 218 tests.
24 Jul 2026	Policy	Billing promise strengthened by operator approval: a renewal charged without its reminder e-mail having been sent is refundable on request, no questions asked.
24 Jul 2026	Site	Policies published pre-launch — billing & cancellation promise, privacy, risk disclosure, site terms — plus this changelog page.
24 Jul 2026	Indicator	v1.2 — visual redesign of the free TradingView showcase (theme, panel, labels, English alerts). Zero logic change: detection code is identical to v1.1.
24 Jul 2026	Site	Full site launch: methodology, evaluation, six concept pages, blog, free calculators, live ledger band on the landing page.
23 Jul 2026	Evaluation	G2 statistical harness written and covered by the automated test suite before its data trigger — pre-registration enforced in code, not just in prose.
16 Jul 2026	Indicator	v1.1 — market-structure-shift marks and the H4 bias panel added to the showcase indicator.
16 Jul 2026	Ledger	Public ledger goes live — append-only from the first row; the first closed trades were losses and are permanently visible.
16 Jul 2026	Engine	Mechanization v1 frozen. Gate G1 (determinism + closed-bars-only + bar-by-bar TradingView cross-check) passed; engine live on 8 USDT-M perpetual markets.

Engine development history from before the public launch lives in the project's internal logs; the ledger's own records begin with the first public signal.
