Atlas v2 — what shipped, what we threw out

An honest changelog: the 47 things we kept, the 12 we deleted, and the one feature that became the reason teams renew.

We shipped Atlas v2 in September. Forty-seven features kept. Twelve removed. One feature — the brand-drift audit — became the reason teams renew.

Most ‘brand systems’ are static libraries. Atlas is a service, not a deliverable. v2 introduces continuous audits, automatic governance, and a public method we can defend. Everything else is internal plumbing.
