Changelog
The Protoface API follows an additive-only compatibility commitment. Once an
endpoint, request/response field, header, error code, enum value, or webhook
event type ships, it is part of the contract: we add alongside, we never rename
or remove. New response enum values and webhook event types may appear at any
time — clients must tolerate unknown values.
