+### Changed
+
+- Renumbered every article's slug to sequential `article-N`, ordered by `publishedAt` (oldest
+  first), via a one-time PocketBase migration — replaces the previous descriptive slugs at the
+  owner's explicit request. Not reversible; existing links/indexed URLs using the old slugs now

 ### Fixed
 
 - Language switch no longer overlaps the header logo on narrow viewports (~390px, e.g. iPhone 14
