When was version 1.0.0 released? Check the workspace files.
final reply
The workspace files give two different dates:

- **changelog.md**: "1.0.0 - released 2025-11-03" (November 3, 2025)
- **press.md**: "Acme launches Widget 1.0.0 on November 10, 2025"

The changelog lists the release date as **2025-11-03**, while the press release states **November 10, 2025**. If you need a definitive answer, the changelog is usually the more reliable source for the actual release date (November 3, 2025), with the press announcement following a week later.
