+## v1.4.3 — Footer version sync + Cycle Time chart restyle (2026-06-11)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Cycle Time charts rebuilt in Recharts to match Stabilization Distribution**
+  (#98). The two per-repo charts (*% PRs merged within 1 day* and *cycle time
+  distribution*) were hand-rolled CSS bars; they're now Recharts horizontal bar
+  charts with a category Y-axis of repo names, a % X-axis with gridlines, and
+  the shared color palette — visually consistent with the Stabilization chart.
+  Supersedes the bar-thickness tweak from v1.4.1.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Dashboard footer showed a stale version** (was `v1.0.7`). The footer renders
+  `platform/package.json`'s version (via `NEXT_PUBLIC_BUILD_VERSION`), which was
+  never bumped alongside releases. Synced it to the product version and added
+  `platform/package.json` to the release checklist so the footer tracks releases
+  from now on.
