## Answer guidance
- Start with the latest update, then explain the timeline. Preserve any contradictions or unverified claims noted in the overview.
- Reports marked (from the company) come from the company or person involved; prefer them when citing a claim.
- Keep API addresses, parameters, and User-Agent details out of the answer.
