+
+## Added
+
+### Helpers - Chore
+
+- **Documentation Cursor Rule** - Added a dedicated Cursor rule for documentation standards under `docs/**/*.md`.
+    - Enforces Google-style docstrings, `snake_case` filenames, required page structure, and code example conventions
+      across all documentation files
+
+## Fixed
+
+### Chore - CI
+
+- **Docs Deploy Trigger on Source Changes** - Extended the `deploy-docs.yml` workflow to also trigger on changes to
+  `archipy/**` source files, not only `docs/**`.
+    - Ensures the published documentation is rebuilt whenever adapter or helper code changes
+- **ReadTheDocs Build Configuration** - Repaired the `.readthedocs.yaml` configuration to restore a functional
+  ReadTheDocs build.
+    - Simplified configuration to match current ReadTheDocs requirements and removed stale options
+
+## Changed
+
+### Adapters - SQLAlchemy
+
+- **Filter Value Type Union Expansion** - Broadened the `value` parameter type union in
+  `SQLAlchemyFilterMixin._apply_filter` and `_validate_list_operation`.
+    - Added `int`, `Decimal`, `datetime`, `date`, and `Enum` to the accepted type union alongside the existing
+      `str | float | bool | list | UUID | None`
+    - Allows filtering on numeric, temporal, and enum-typed columns without requiring a cast at the call site
+
+## Chore
+
+### Docs - Documentation Overhaul
+
+- **API Reference Restructure** - Split the monolithic `api_reference.md` into per-module subdirectories (`adapters/`,
+  `helpers/`) with individual pages for each adapter and helper module.
+- **Adapter Example Pages** - Revamped all adapter example pages with complete runnable snippets and standardised
+  sections (Installation, Configuration, Basic Usage, See Also).
+    - Added Elasticsearch example guide and expanded PostgreSQL and configs examples
+    - Consolidated payment gateway documentation into a single page
+- **New Example Pages** - Added `dependency_injection.md` and `error_handling.md` example guides.
+- **Getting Started** - Overhauled the quickstart guide and complete user example to reflect `manage.py` integration;
+  updated project structure documentation with enhanced `run` command options.
+- **Navigation** - Restructured and expanded `mkdocs.yml` navigation; added `404.md` and `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` pages.
+- **Architecture & Concepts** - Updated architecture and concepts documentation; split the large `concepts.md` into
+  focused topic pages.
+- **Installation Guide** - Created a dedicated installation guide and streamlined the prerequisites section.
+- **Changelog** - Added Cursor rules for changelog standards and restructured changelog organisation and navigation.
