 edfcore is pre-1.0. Patch releases have carried behaviour changes where the old behaviour was a
 defect; those are called out below.
 
+## 0.5.3
+
+- **Added** the claim `api-reading.md` makes in one clause: "that makes `startSeconds` trustworthy
+  on an EDF+D file even when the index is only probed". A chunk decodes its start from the
+  timekeeping TALs in its own bytes, so an index that has read two records cannot make it wrong.
+- It is worth checking because the cheap answer is available and wrong. Every record has a nominal
+  position, `start + r * recordDuration`, that a reader can compute without touching the file — and
+  on a contiguous file it is right. On an EDF+D file it is short by every gap before it, which is
+  the number nobody notices: the samples are fine, the record numbers are fine, and only the clock
+  has moved.
+- The fixture puts a seven-second hole after record 3 and reads a chunk on each side of it through
+  an index that has never looked. The far chunk is asserted not to report the nominal position, to
+  report the true one in ticks, and to report the same value the scanned index does — which is what
+  "trustworthy" has to mean. The near chunk reports a position where the two answers coincide,
+  which is why testing only that half would conclude the nominal grid was fine.
+- `precededByGap` is asserted `undefined` on the same chunk, deliberately. It is the field a probed
+  index genuinely cannot fill, and the one `mergeChunks` stopped keying its refusal on in 0.2.19 —
+  before that, two chunks a minute apart on an EDF+D file joined in silence.
+
+## 0.5.2
+
+- **Added** the map of how far `strict` reaches on a read, which has three cells rather than the
+  two a reader assumes. `openEdf` probes exactly two records for their timekeeping onsets, so a
+  malformed TAL in record 0 or the last record throws under `strict` and one in a middle record
+  does not — the file opens, and every sample reads back either way.
+- The middle cell is not a defect. A probed index has read two records, so `strict` can only reject
+  what it saw; rejecting a file for a defect nobody looked for would be a claim the probe cannot
+  make, and `validateRecording` is the call that reads every record. It is written down because
+  "strict rejects a file with any defect" is what a reader assumes, and it is wrong in a way no
+  error message will correct.
+- The reason a read is never strict is checked as the structural fact it is rather than as
+  carefulness: `ReadOptions` declares no `strict` member, so a read cannot be asked for it even by
+  a caller who wants it. `recording.ts` says exactly that at the call site — "not because the flag
+  was lost" — and a member added later would compile, be ignored, and leave `api-reading.md`
+  describing an option that exists.
+- In all three cells the samples come back and `TAL_MALFORMED` lands on `chunk.diagnostics` naming
+  the record it was found in. That is what the read path exists to protect: a malformed TAL in the
+  annotations channel is not a reason to return no EEG.
+
 ## 0.5.1
 
 - **Added** the `out` contract as one check over every primitive that takes one.
