 # Lint Automation System - Changelog
 
+## Version 2.1.0 (2025-10-01)
+
+### 🎉 Enhanced Issue Tracking & Auditing
+
+This release adds automated assignment, timestamp tracking, and post-run audit capabilities to ensure complete visibility and accountability in the lint issue management process.
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+#### 1. Automatic @copilot Assignment
+- **All issues are now automatically assigned to @copilot** on creation
+- **Assignee is preserved on updates** to maintain tracking continuity
+- **Ensures clear ownership** and responsibility for all lint issues
+- No more unassigned lint issues floating around!
+
+#### 2. Timestamp & Run ID Tracking
+- **Every issue includes creation timestamp** with ISO 8601 format
+- **Workflow run ID is captured** in issue metadata
+- **Last updated timestamp** is added to issue body on updates
+- **Update comments include run ID** for full traceability
+- Enables complete audit trail for all lint issues
+
+Example issue metadata:
+```
+- **Created:** 2025-10-01T18:55:06.044Z (Run ID: `18172226111`)
+- **Last updated:** 2025-10-01T18:56:20.946Z (Run ID: `18172226112`)
+- **Status:** Unread
+```
+
+#### 3. Post-Run Audit System
+- **Automatic self-audit after every run** to verify correctness
+- **Comprehensive verification checks**:
+  - ✅ All errors from logs were captured
+  - ✅ Each issue is assigned to @copilot
+  - ✅ No duplicate issues exist
+  - ✅ New errors are marked as unread
+  - ✅ Resolved errors are properly signed off
+- **Detailed summary report** posted to workflow output
+- **Audit status** (PASSED/FAILED) with specific check results
+
+Example audit output:
+```
+## 🔧 Lint Automation Post-Run Audit
+
+**Run ID:** `18172226111`
+**Timestamp:** 2025-10-01T18:55:06.044Z
