When was version 1.0.0 released? Check the workspace files.
final reply
The workspace files disagree on the exact date:

- **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 **November 3, 2025**, while the press release states November 10, 2025 (which may be the public announcement date rather than the actual release date).
