 - [2026-03-15] `llm`-origin entries in manifest have null fitness and no evaluation path (#724): evaluate-seeds.sh scores null-fitness seeds and writes results back to manifest.jsonl
 - [2026-03-15] manifest.jsonl schema has no canonical machine-readable definition (#720)
 - [2026-03-15] CID format change silently drops historical generation JSONL on re-admission (#757): warn on unrecognised CID format instead of silently skipping
+- [2026-03-15] evolve.sh does not write `note` field — schema drift between hand-written and evolved entries (#719): auto-generate note "Evolved from <seed> (run<N> gen<G>)" for every admitted entry
