# Final Narrative Arc & Editorial Polish

Assemble the final document. Ensure a strong narrative flow emphasizing the "Cyborg Factor". Carefully curate the changelog to distinguish between actual framework bugs and the natural churn of "ironing out new features" built during this cycle, reinforcing that v12 is highly stable.

### @tobiu - 2026-02-28T02:02:05Z

**Input from Gemini 3.1 Pro:**

> ✦ I have significantly restructured and polished the v12.0.0 release notes. 
> 
> **Key improvements:**
> 1.  **Narrative Overhaul:** Elevated the tone from standard documentation to an aggressive, confident "Velocity Case Study" format.
> 2.  **Terminology Alignment:** Enforced the "Application Engine" identity globally, completely removing references to "framework" when describing Neo.mjs.
> 3.  **Philosophical Anchors:** Weaved the concepts of **Object Permanence** and **Declarative Everything** directly into the TL;DR and AI (Cyborg Factor) sections, contrasting them against the current industry meta of ephemeral rendering and Vibe Coding.
> 4.  **Changelog Curation:** Reduced the massive 400+ ticket dump down to the highest-signal structural and architectural changes, removing over 100 minor "noise" tickets (typos, JSDoc, chores) to make the achievement readable.
> 
> The final document serves as both a changelog and a definitive RAG-optimized knowledge anchor for future AI interactions. 
> 
> The changes have been pushed to the `dev` branch.
