+## 0.23.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 297ee1b: `trailing-contrast` no longer goes quiet on a sentence that follows one `not-just-but` blocks (DOM-1358, catalogue 2026.10.8). The check that keeps one sentence from being reported twice looked back a fixed 80 characters and could reach the sentence before; it now reads only the sentence the match sits in. Found by running the released `copy-check` over the 92EL lines: "Edge matters for game servers, not registration." went unreported when it came straight after the gerund pair.
+
+## 0.23.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 6890c34: <!-- copy-ok: names the shapes the release starts catching --> Contrastive negation catches the shapes a 92EL report passed the gate with (DOM-1358, catalogue 2026.10.7). **This tightens the gate:** `not-just-but`, which blocks, now covers the parallel gerund ("renting Microsoft's services, not running servers") as well as the parallel participle; its 45 estate hits were read first and every one in shipped copy is the real template. A new review-tier tell, `trailing-contrast`, reports the softer forms COPY.md had left to the read-through: a noun after ", not" closing a sentence ("Edge matters for game servers, not registration"), "not a legal one", and a gerund "instead of" a gerund ("renting computing instead of owning it"). It never blocks, because a genuine disclaimer has the same shape, and it stays quiet where `not-just-but` already reports. Plain negation is untouched: "It is not tested at national scale", "not yet automated", "Nothing is copied by hand". A second new review-tier tell, `parallel-pair`, reports verbless parallel pairs, the staccato triplet's two-part cousin: "One form, seven workflows", "Same site, same £8,000.", "Pay per user, per month", and a verbless list used as a tagline ("Service account, match-day reminders, analytics."). A plain list of names, a sentence with a verb, a subtitle and a numeric result line pass. It never blocks, because a short slide label is often fine.
