Added

• Clickable release-history cards with complete Added, Changed and Fixed sections in the main reading panel.
• Bundled experimental release notes that remain available offline, including the earlier interface, controls, market and targeting updates.
• A release workflow that updates the visible changelog and launcher version with every experimental change.

Changed

• Release notes wrap to the available width and scroll vertically; card selection stays in place when server content refreshes.
• The footer shows the installed experimental build version rather than the shared server's older manifest version.
• The launcher retains its original warm dark background, gold accents and ivory lettering.

Fixed

• Persistent NPCs no longer repeatedly reverse 180 degrees beyond their patrol boundary. The correction is applied to the running server, whose movement overrides local client simulation.
• Neutral vessels turn back smoothly at their existing cruise speed; altitude differences alone cannot trigger a horizontal reversal.
• Older shared-server or itch-specific changelog entries cannot replace this build's experimental release history.
