 **Before you touch code or docs**
 - Sweep the repo: grep across SQL, YAML, docs, dashboards, macros, and tests to learn how the subject is referenced and why it matters.
+- **Check for existing changelogs**: Search `changelog/` directory for related files to understand previous decisions and context.
 - Gather context with scratch notes as needed, but hold off on the formal changelog until you are ready to commit decisions.
 - Pull metadata first (`RetrieveMetadata`); only run SQL when you need extra detail. Interpret null rates, cardinality, distributions, clustering, skew, date coverage, and text patterns—then connect each observation to the business process it reflects. Keep track of insights you expect to cite later.
 - Read the model SQL and traverse upstream models. Note filters, joins, CASE logic, window functions, aggregations, casts, deduplication, soft deletes, and upserts. Capture how the data is curated or pruned so you can explain the reasoning behind any changes.
