[Existing app][Changelog Panel] Document safety boundaries and contributor handoff

[kryputh]

Summary

Improve the existing Changelog Panel surface. This issue is intentionally scoped to existing app code and should not introduce a new standalone tool or unrelated feature.

Current area

changelog entries, panel visibility, read state, release grouping, and user-facing change summaries

Relevant paths

• src/features/changelog/ChangelogPanel.tsx
• src/features/changelog/useChangelog.ts
• src/features/changelog/data.ts

Goal

make the existing changelog panel useful for release comprehension and contributor handoff.

Work focus

Document the current safety, privacy, and contributor boundaries for this area. The goal is to make future changes easier to review without adding new product scope.

Acceptance criteria

• Documentation names the files, data contracts, and user-facing states a contributor must understand.
• Safety notes call out fake demo data, privacy assumptions, and any trust/security-sensitive behavior.
• The handoff includes a lightweight QA checklist for this area.
• Docs link to existing local files or tests instead of inventing a new architecture.

Scope guardrails

• Keep the work inside the relevant existing app/module paths above unless a small shared helper is clearly justified.
• Do not add a new V1/V2 tool folder for this issue.
• Do not use real user data, secrets, private keys, or live customer mail.
• Keep copy and UI aligned with the Stealth Mail safety, speed, and sender-control positioning.

Suggested validation

• Run the most relevant unit or e2e tests for the touched area.
• Run �un x tsc --noEmit and �un run lint when the local environment supports the project dependency install.

Hi team,

I’m interested in working on this issue. I have experience documenting frontend systems and improving contributor onboarding clarity in production React codebases.

For this task, I will:

• Document the current Changelog Panel structure, including key files, data flow, and state model
• Clearly outline data contracts used in data.ts and how useChangelog transforms them
• Add safety and privacy notes, especially around demo data and trust assumptions
• Document user-facing states (read/unread, grouped releases, visibility handling) for future contributors
• Provide a lightweight QA checklist for validating changelog behavior
• Ensure documentation links to existing code/tests without introducing new architecture

I will keep the focus on clarity, safety, and maintainability to improve long-term contributor handoff quality.
