+## [0.28.0] - 2026-09-22
+
+### Changed
+- Manufacturing leads with *Last night, on the fleet*: four live counters (machines watched, flagged abnormal, work orders raised, weeks of data) from `agent-demo.json`, and one chart — six weeks of cycle deviation per machine, flagged machines in the line colour with direct labels, the rest muted, an "approved" reference, hover for the verdict, a table view. Replaces the four static marketing tiles. Counters animate unless the reader prefers reduced motion.
