This is the website shelf page for docs/ps1/research/ROLLOUT_HISTORY.md. It exists because the project has hundreds of Markdown files and the website should not pretend the interesting work only happened in the polished essays.

Why this file matters

PS1 research worklog. This is one of the working notes that drove the port: plans, validation logs, classifier notes, and the pivots that eventually shaped the runtime.

This file preserves the dated rollout chronology that used to live in the top-level research README. It is historical context, not the active source of truth.
