-- **`init(project): initialize project Image Gin`** (2025-07-20) — the fork point. Image-Gin became its own repo separate from the cite-wide / perplexica experimental lineage.
+- **`init(project): initialize project Image Gin`** (2025-07-20) — Image-Gin gets its own repo with manifest, esbuild config, and a settings shell.
 - **`progress(settings): progress on settings for ImageGin`** (2025-07-20) — the settings tab took shape: branded image styles, output paths, default models.
 - **`progress(image-styles): branded image styles now go with the request`** (2025-07-21 00:08) — the brand styles dropdown now actually fed into the API call. Selection became consequential.
 - **`milestone(api): ImageKit API call now storing files in the right place`** (2025-07-21 00:44) — the first commit where the round trip worked. ImageKit returned a file. The plugin saved it. The note could reference it.

-- The fork from the shared cite-wide-lineage repo happened on July 20; the first working API call landed July 21. That's a fast 24-hour identity emergence.
 - This entry lands at `changelog/2025-07-21_01.md` even though the project init was July 20 — because the *substance* (the working API call) was the 21st. The convention is to date entries by what they document, not by when adjacent setup happened.
