 ### Fixed
+- SQL changelog headers: explanatory "-- Include it from the host..." comments were parsed as a licensed Liquibase `include` directive. Replaced with neutral wording; changeset bodies and schema are unchanged.
 - Under OAuth2, per-recipient checks (alert visibility for external channels, follower record access, audience sessions) never worked: they used token-less automated sessions, which OAuth2 rejects, so external sends fell back to the conservative rule. When the host declares the QQQ `alerts` service principal (`AlertsQBitConfig.withServicePrincipal`, default `alerts`), these checks run on the recipient's behalf through it: the recipient's current access intersected with the principal's. Alert recording and routing bookkeeping stay on the system session, so alerting does not depend on the identity provider being up. With no principal declared, behavior is unchanged. Needs the QQQ release with service identities (qqq#1255, #1256).
 - Audit noise: every monitor run (lease claim, then run result) and every reminder check wrote a "Record was Edited" audit (about 7,000 `alerts_monitor` and 1,800 `alerts_alert` audits in 6 hours on one production host, most with no field details). Engine updates that touch only bookkeeping fields (`RuntimeFields`: monitor `claimedBy`, `claimedUntil`, `lastRunAt`, `nextRunAt`, `lastStatus`, `lastValue`, `lastError`, `lastElapsedMs`, `consecutiveFailures`, `conditionSince`; alert `timedNotificationCheckedAt`, `lastNotifiedAt`, `recordRefCount`) are written with `omitDmlAudit`. Configuration edits, raises and alert state changes are audited as before, as are UI and API edits of any field.
 - Read the QBit metadata version from the Maven-filtered artifact version so release builds report their release version.
