+## 0.30.2 — 2026-05-29
+
+**Patch — header nav label: the persistent chrome link reverts from
+"Philosophy" back to "About." Display text only — the route
+(`/philosophy`), the `header-about` class, and the page itself are
+unchanged. A plain frontend rebuild applies it; no schema, API, config,
+overlay, or secret change.**
+
+The §14.3 persistent link was relabeled "About" → "Philosophy" in
+v0.21.0. This restores "About" as the neutral, framework-native label
+(the CSS class `header-about` and the surrounding comment already call
+it "the About link"). A deployment that wants a more pointed framing
+can title its own About page in the `PHILOSOPHY.md` content the
+`PHILOSOPHY_PATH` override serves.
+
+Upgrade steps: none. **SHOULD** deploy as a normal code deploy.
