-    "Minibits claims that every mint reports as already spent leave the retry queue, clearing repeated failure notices. Network errors and mixed mint failures remain queued for another attempt.",
-    "Minibits polls its primary relay first and connects to public fallback relays only when the primary is unreachable, reducing unnecessary connections.",
-    "Large payment backlogs are fetched from newest to oldest with a saved cursor, so polling can resume after interruptions or page limits. Payments sharing the same timestamp remain reachable.",
-    "Added regression coverage for spent-claim classification, wrapped and mixed mint errors, same-second payments, and interrupted or multi-poll backlogs."
+    "Framework startup prioritizes Bitcoin and LND before unrelated containers, and unavailable LND balances remain unavailable instead of appearing as false zeroes.",
+    "Cashu Receive guides unseeded wallets through recovery-phrase setup, with shorter backup guidance and a single-column layout.",
+    "Added live Framework verification for automatic LND unlock, native balance preservation, Cashu address registration, and proof preservation."
