Docs only. The ### Unreleased entries for the merge wave just landed (#1292, #1358) and for #1293, which is next in the queue and should merge before this PR; plus the user-facing explanation of the new ndt_edge_shift key.

Changelog. Four entries in the 0.5.0 style, in this order: full_ddm no longer discards responses in (t − st/2, t] (#1292, with the refit note); a likelihood can declare where its support starts (ndt_edge_shift, #1292; credits @EItanm1999 for the configurable-edge idea in #1344, which it supersedes); RLSSM decision processes carry the declaration (#1358); out-of-bounds default initial values are clamped into the bounds (#1293). #1360 is test-only and has no entry. Contributor credit is written inline as @EItanm1999; the file had no precedent, so this is the convention from here on.

Docs. docs/tutorials/likelihoods.ipynb is excluded from the site and redirects to explanations/likelihoods.md, so the explanation lives there: what the declaration means, the three places it can be given (register_model likelihood dict, model_config override, make_distribution(ndt_edge_shift=)), the full_ddm example, that absence keeps the floor at t, and why a LAN's declaration must match its simulator's. docs/tutorials/pymc.ipynb's make_distribution keyword list gains the key; its sentence claiming inf bounds are unsupported is corrected (they have been supported since 0.1.1; full_ddm itself declares "st": (0, np.inf)).

Checks. mkdocs build --strict renders the new section; notebooks validated with nbformat, no outputs touched; ruff format --check clean. In-memory merges: clean against main, #1293 and #1346.

Sequencing notes for the two PRs that still carry a changelog hunk. #1343: drop its ### Unreleased heading and renumber its entry to 5 when it lands. #1345: its hunk auto-merges textually after these entries but revives the superseded ndt_edge_width wording and misnumbers; rewrite it by hand at the rebase.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified that full_ddm accepts response times down to t - st / 2 and that models using this support edge may need to be refitted.
  • Explained how to configure response-time support edges for likelihoods and simulator-trained networks, including the default behavior when no edge shift is specified.
  • Updated guidance on parameter bounds to note that infinite bounds are supported.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation adds an Unreleased changelog and expands likelihood and PyMC tutorial guidance on response-time support edges, configuration options, parameter bounds, and default initial values.

Changes

Documentation updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Likelihood support and initialization guidance docs/changelog.md, docs/explanations/likelihoods.md, docs/tutorials/pymc.ipynb	The docs describe ndt_edge_shift, including the full_ddm edge and RLSSM configuration paths. They also document infinite bounds, default initial-value clamping, and the unchanged handling of user-supplied initial values.

The PR is otherwise mergeable, but clarify the infinity signs to prevent affected configurations from receiving a floored likelihood. The changelog heading does not violate an enforced project rule.

Specify the sign for each unbounded side.

For a (lower, upper) pair, use -inf for an unbounded lower side and inf for an unbounded upper side. The current wording can be read to permit the opposite signs, which do not represent unbounded sides.
