Changelog — what changed, per version

This collection grows: patterns may be reworded, examples added, and new material released over time. Each pattern keeps a stable, assign-once handle (e.g. AQ03) so that “what changed” stays legible — a renamed pattern keeps its handle, and links and citations never break.
