Backchannel is open

AdLint now has a dedicated feed called Backchannel. It is the place for meaningful product changes, new audit coverage, and platform release commentary that needs more context than a commit message.

The format is intentionally tight. Each note should explain what changed, why it matters for tracking work, and what someone should check next.

Most platform release notes are written for everyone and no one. A Google or Meta change might matter deeply to one tracking workflow and not at all to another. Backchannel gives AdLint a place to translate those changes into agency-facing implications.

That matters because the real question is rarely "what shipped?" The useful question is "does this change what I need to audit, explain, or defend to a client?"

For AdLint product launches, use the note to point readers toward the tool or check family that changed. For external platform releases, tie the release back to the relevant auditor and the failure modes it can surface.

When a feature like Ad Agents ships, the note should answer three questions: what it does, what changed for the user, and what a team should try first.
