- Around line 42-54: The client changelog ([0.21.0]) incorrectly lists PRs `#2219`
and `#2198` that belong to the photon-api release ([0.55.0]); verify the actual
merge/release dates for PRs `#2219` and `#2198` in git history and then correct the
changelogs so each PR appears under the package and release that actually merged
it—either move the "Added compressed mint support via photon API" and the
"Replaced photon-api client with progenitor" lines out of
sdk-libs/client/CHANGELOG.md [0.21.0] into sdk-libs/photon-api/CHANGELOG.md
[0.55.0], or update the release dates/PR associations so the timestamps and PR

Fix the chronological ordering of PRs across client and photon-api changelogs.
PRs #2219 and #2198 appear in sdk-libs/client/CHANGELOG.md under [0.21.0] (2026-02-10) and again in sdk-libs/photon-api/CHANGELOG.md under [0.55.0] (2026-02-17). This is backwards: the client claims to have added "compressed mint support via photon API" on 2026-02-10, but the API itself didn't add that feature until 2026-02-17. Similarly, the client replaced the photon-api client on 2026-02-10, but photon-api replaced its own implementation on 2026-02-17.
Either the CHANGELOG dates are incorrect, or the PR assignments are wrong. Verify that the dates correspond to actual release points and that PR associations reflect when they were actually merged for each package.

Move "Removed v1 compatibility" to a ### Removed section.
Removed is the designated section for now-removed features per Keep a Changelog convention. Leaving it under ### Changed misrepresents the nature of the change to anyone scanning the changelog.
