 # ChangeLog
 
+## Updates since last changelog entry (2026-03-14 → 2026-03-28)
+
+Coverage: changes merged/landed after the previous changelog update commit on **2026-03-13**, through **2026-03-28**.
+
+### Highlights
+
+- **Term start date enforcement (issue-1167 / PR #1185):** major cross-cutting workstream to respect `term_start_date` everywhere — `fetch_last_answer`, `fetch_code`, `fetch_page_activity_counts`, all `_scorable_X` functions, `checkLocalStorage` in interactives, and the `eBookConfig` context dict / layout template; course home page now warns instructors of old/expired courses.
+- **Automated testing + CI (new):** full GitHub Actions CI pipeline landed — CRUD test suite, route smoke tests (book + assignment servers), functional route tests with real DB and fake auth, and a CI status badge in the README.
+- **Learning clues (continued):** merged the `learning_clues` branch into main; follow-on additions include coach-mode switch, source filter, citation links, study-clues logic abstraction, and logging.
+- **Async Peer Instruction UX:** added a step banner with progress dots to async PI, improved voting-stage clarity, and updated the LLM prompt; banner colors refined to shades of blue (PR from conzty01).
+- **Canvas timezone fix (PR #1189):** updated LTI1p3 timezone handling to accommodate a recent Canvas change.
+- **SmartSearch / CopyExercise modal (issue-829-3 / PR #1175):** refactored `SmartSearchExercises` and `CopyExerciseModal` to support editing and improve UX; added Prism to component templates.
+- **Next-question placement fix (PR #1178):** corrected next-question placement and styling.
+- **Ops / tooling:** dependency and lock-file updates, pgcli bump, black formatting fixes, Linux build-system init fix, LLM prompt hallucination fix, micro-parsons dependency bump, and a course-list typo fix.
