+## 0.47.2 — 19.10.2026
+
+### Added
+
+- **WC-REL-9 counts a shared-library change toward its once-a-week limit only when a CLI must change its code to take
+  it.** cli-core's parity jobs build tg-cli, max-cli and whatsapp-cli from their `main` against every pull request.
+  A change all three pass with, unchanged, may ship in any release. A change that fails a job, passes only against a
+  CLI branch made for it, or changes behaviour a CLI must adapt to still counts; when in doubt, it counts. The limit
+  exists so the CLIs do not chase versions, and a change they need not follow gives them nothing to chase. Its
+  changelog still marks it "may break callers" for outside users.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **`--qr-file` is no longer a vocabulary flag.** tg, max and cli-core dropped the option that wrote the login QR
+  code to a PNG; a CLI now prints the QR code as text for the user or agent to paste. A CLI that still declares
+  `--qr-file` fails `option-role` in `cli-dev lint`; none does today.
+
+## 0.47.1 — 19.10.2026
+
+### Added
+
+- **`--alias <name>` is a vocabulary flag** (role `query`): another name of the thing, searched as its own
+  alternative beside its name, repeatable. memo's `projects evidence` takes extra project names with it; before,
+  a CLI that wanted the option failed `option-role`.
