+## [1.3.1] - 2026-07-23
+
+### Added
+- The Directory documentation (`docs/directory.md`) is now surfaced: registered in-app at `/docs/directory` ("Directory & Inventory"), help-linked from the Directory page header, and linked from the docs-site index. Extended with the shared slug conventions (`site_<name>`, `host_<hostname>` — as used by ldap-client and the theta-env seed), the automatic-registration story (theta-env stack seeding, ldap-client Linux host enrollment), and the API surface (admin at `/api/directory-admin`, read-only graph at `/api/discovery`).
+
+### Changed
+- Direct LDAP binds are described as first-class, not "legacy", across README, DEPLOYMENT.md, docs, and the Dockerfile: Linux hosts are a primary consumer of the directory (PAM/SSSD login, LDAP-backed `sudo` via `sudoRole`, SSH public keys via openssh-lpk) — exactly what the custom schemas exist for.
