An entry is written when something changes for the person using the site: a new check appears, a
check starts reporting something it did not report before, or a fault that gave a wrong answer is
corrected. Each entry carries a link straight to the thing that changed, so you can see it rather
than read about it.
Nothing is written for changes you cannot notice. Reworded paragraphs, adjusted spacing, a different
shade of a button — these are not improvements to report, and a log padded with them stops being
worth opening. The same goes for the plumbing: which libraries the site uses and how it is deployed
are our problem, not news.
Entries carry the real date on which the change went live, and they are never backdated to make the
site look busier. When several changes land on one day they are still written as separate entries,
because they answer separate questions — but they are published across the following days rather
than dumped together, since three entries under one date read as a one-off tidy-up rather than as a
project that is actually being worked on.
If a change turns out to be wrong and gets reverted, that reversal gets its own entry too. A log
that only records successes is a marketing page with dates on it.
