Paraphrase: The [specified GitHub API query](https://api.github.com/repos/l2beat/l2beat/commits?path=packages/config/src/projects/lighter/lighter.ts&since=2026-04-27T00:00:00Z&until=2026-10-27T23:59:59Z&per_page=100) returned 30 commits (fewer than the 100-result page limit). The following is the full returned list, with UTC committer dates. “Neither” means the commit changes neither the stage block nor riskView in this file; it does not assert that other project files or shared stage rules were unchanged. Each linked commit was inspected; the large September 23 commit was also checked by comparing this file at its parent and child because the commit API’s first 300 files omitted it. | UTC committer date | Commit (quoted title) | Comparison (paraphrase) | |---|---|---| | 2026-10-23T11:41:50Z | [“Dailies (#13476)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/9f2ce66c3b876f816dd83e5dba8ecb05c508320e#diff) | Neither | | 2026-10-21T07:46:31Z | [“Dailies (#13392)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/c685e8c03430ff34f122500787a4c2f47589ebfa#diff) | Neither | | 2026-10-14T07:11:43Z | [“Dailies (#13290)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/d9cfb78ca4f7b267edf2714fad4d45c3c0ddcf25#diff) | Neither | | 2026-10-05T07:43:32Z | [“Dailies for zk stack and lighter (#13105)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/05f76f8f92487bd91a32c1f53c66722fe40e4c38#diff) | Neither | | 2026-10-02T08:01:48Z | [“Measure ossification at request time (#13078)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/ac2f335b0bfa7976f37dfa75e391edec5391a0e4#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-29T13:10:28Z | [“Include shared modules in the ossification perimeter (#13020)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/97882e49075dda3a0b6c2f78b8e10cde49a7b97a#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-29T07:45:31Z | [“Sergey dailies 28 09 (#13026)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/72b29533d3d013f31c41921bd04551f11aba762f#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-28T07:20:49Z | [“opt-in ossification for the chosen projects (#13014)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/62f0d95e07d49c7259c5fac9f287fb5c8e96c84d#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-23T07:14:44Z | [“refine ossification for the 21 signature configs (#12964)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/975240d9c593805261860a2ab88f27737ac16b4e#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-15T09:53:11Z | [“Dailies: zk stack, lighter, privacy boost (#12842)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/39dd8c649b4d7280671203a934a69a4a6b3e4f51#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-10T13:21:51Z | [“Dailies for zk stack, lighter (#12808)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/85ee94a53ee83ba7669b80f662b66fd0724c90cd#diff) | Neither | | 2026-09-03T12:27:40Z | [“Dailies for lighter, fluent, adi (#12746)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/8438ea9dbfd44c0c1a39e2d60c16bdfbd3ee1a18#diff) | Neither | | 2026-08-31T16:56:08Z | [“Lighter tracked txs config (#12715)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/58d130dd81e18684eafef31edfa3067a670f33c6#diff) | Neither | | 2026-08-26T12:53:31Z | [“Dailies for zircuit, lighter, fluent and zk stack (#12673)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/fe0597dfc044814c2211715fa77b5f9f3ec22e2a#diff) | Neither | | 2026-08-24T12:09:57Z | [“Dailies for lighters (#12655)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/9443dca84e758fa8c1e8a2290303baf9c4ab5c70#diff) | Neither | | 2026-08-11T09:43:43Z | [“Sergey dailies 10 09 (#12524)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/fa009134efca948230a37fa461a29792e6a0b6f8#diff) | Neither | | 2026-08-05T11:09:26Z | [“taiko unzen fork (validity proofs) (#12457)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/548586a83ad227d3e54d602f8f3725015d1b4e49#diff) | Neither | | 2026-07-24T12:05:20Z | [“Dailies for lighter and fluent (#12357)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/fc7866b8d87793d8e4cf50f714da74b977c6a248#diff) | Neither | | 2026-07-20T17:03:52Z | [“Dailies for lighter, linea and railgun (#12316)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/8be07ab5d124b0e531b29224c907ed22de4a66a4#diff) | Neither | | 2026-07-15T12:25:14Z | [“Sergey dailies 13 07 (#12277)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/f7af7acf78353eb0f2e778e3bdc15c8a9812fea6#diff) | Neither | | 2026-06-12T11:03:15Z | [“Extract inlined markdown (#12085)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/92da0dc5fa4764980bba7c064c3194889fa78f6a#diff) | Neither | | 2026-06-05T10:17:07Z | [“Dailies (#12026)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/ee1826994c707642e1e5c645589e22b482665946#diff) | Neither | | 2026-05-26T10:00:45Z | [“add governance information to upgrades and governance (#11897)”](https://github.com/l2beat/l2beat/commit/26f3ca687c1134f005c44d4324b5a09e5b6a3d22#diff) | Neither | | 2026-05-23T15:46:21Z | [“Dailies for morph, abstract.
