skills: a sixth instance, found by the repo owner within the hour
Claimed "## Unreleased is a new convention in this repo" after reading
CHANGELOG.md once — minutes after b615571 had renamed that very section to
`## v1.8.11`. 33 commits touch the heading; the convention is that new entries
land under Unreleased and the heading is renamed at tag time, exactly as it
was renamed out from under my snapshot.
Same root cause as the five instances the section above already records: an
absence observed in one frame, promoted to a fact about the world, with no
second measurement. `git log -S'## Unreleased' -- CHANGELOG.md` was the oracle
and costs one command.
The generalisation is worth more than the instance, so it goes in the habits
block: to learn a repeating PROCESS, read history, not the file. A file's
current content is one frame of a cycle, and the frame you catch may be the one
where the thing you are looking for has just been consumed.
