 # v26.11.2, build 261 (2026-11-xx xx:xx UTC)
-- Added the BeyondFacts Lab as a prototype. It helps researchers prepare step by step for a challenging appearance, such as a panel discussion, an interview, or a hearing. An introduction explains how to work with the lab, and a chat tells you whether the lab fits your task. Each event gets a preparation of its own, which leads you through seven steps, from the details of the event to what you take away, and shows you which key details are still missing. In each step, a chat guides you with questions, based on your details and a guide on science in public debates. Your preparations are part of your data backups. To try it, open the app settings, allow preview features down to prototype, and enable the BeyondFacts Lab. Thanks to Lara Wüster from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) for the concept and the content of the lab.

+/// <remarks>
+/// The BeyondFacts Lab keeps at most as much text of a document as a prompt can ever carry, whatever the size of the
+/// file. The runtime tells what its filter removed only at the end of a file, so the limit must not end the read
+/// early.<br/><br/>
+/// FakeRuntime plays the runtime. Reading a file reports through the guard of the application's service provider,
+/// so these tests replace it while they run and must not run in parallel.
