CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,13 +5,22 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
-## [1.5.3] - 2026-04-04
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **CI workflow** (`.github/workflows/ci.yaml`): runs `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy`, `cargo sort`, and `cargo machete` on every push and PR to `master`.
+- **`rust-toolchain.toml`**: pins Rust toolchain to `1.93` (matching the Dockerfile), shared between local dev and CI.
 
 ### Fixed
 
 - **Re-verification always marked `is_verified=false`**: fixed per-row `is_verified` computation when on-chain hash changes, preventing builds with matching hashes from being incorrectly unverified.
 - **Duplicate phantom build record on every verification**: removed the spurious `initial_uuid` row that was inserted and immediately marked completed before the real verification build started.
 
+### Removed
+
+- **`use-external-pdas` feature flag**: dead code — the feature gated imports that were never used anywhere in the codebase.
+
 ## [1.5.2] - 2026-03-25
