 `@supersuit/artifacts`. One entry per version, newest first. Each entry says what changed, how a
 host can tell whether it is affected (DETECTOR), what a host does about it (REMEDY), and the tests.
 
+## 0.4.4 (2026-09-26)
+
+**The glow stays on the cool-to-magenta arc.**
+
+- 0.4.3's nine colours included coral, amber and lime, which put the warm half of the spectrum on
+  the page and read as a rainbow. `GLOW_PASTELS` is now brand blue, magenta, teal, purple, pink,
+  cyan, violet, sky and lavender: as many colours, none of them red, orange, yellow or green.
+- **DETECTOR:** the animated ground shows orange, yellow or green.
+- **REMEDY:** update the dependency. A pack that passes its own `backdrop.colors` keeps them.
+- **Tests:** every default colour's hue sits between cyan and pink.
+
+## 0.4.3 (2026-09-26)
+
+**The bubble ground runs smooth on a phone, and the glow runs the whole spectrum.**
+
+- The backdrop blurred the whole viewport (`filter: blur(40px)`) and hard-light blended every
+  bubble, so each frame re-rasterised the full screen and stuttered on a phone. Both are gone:
+  only `transform` animates, on its own layer (`will-change`, `translate3d`). The softness now
+  comes from the gradient itself (`closest-side`, fading to zero inside the bubble), which also
+  stops the gradients showing hard edges without the blur.
+- `GLOW_PASTELS` grows from six washed pastels to nine saturated hues (blue, violet, magenta,
+  rose, coral, amber, lime, mint, cyan), one bubble each, spread over the page so neighbours
+  overlap at their edges instead of averaging to grey in the middle.
+- **DETECTOR:** the animated ground stutters on a phone, or reads as grey-beige rather than colour.
+- **REMEDY:** update the dependency. A pack that passes its own `backdrop.colors` keeps them.
+- **Tests:** no full-screen blur or blend in the backdrop and `will-change:transform` present; the
+  default palette has at least nine colours and renders one bubble per colour.
+
+## 0.4.2 (2026-09-26)
+
+**The read-along highlight waits for play.**
+
+- The first word's timing starts at 0, so an untouched page sat with its first word lit before
+  anything played. `ArtifactReader` now lights nothing until the first play or seek. The word
+  choice is exported as `litWordIndex(words, now, started)`.
+- **DETECTOR:** a narrated page shows its first word highlighted at 0:00 before play.
+- **REMEDY:** update the dependency; no host change.
+- **Tests:** nothing lit before start; the word under the playhead once started; nothing in a
+  gap after a word ends.
+
 ## 0.4.1 (2026-09-26)
 
 **Big files upload straight to the bucket.**
