Ship Note — release notes template, Swiss grid layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Ship Note does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
the head rule under the masthead and the foot rule carrying the support address and the folio (fixed height — nothing in either may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
one release per row, its version and date hung in the margin; the items under "next"
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
every release note's prose; the standfirst; the "next" items
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
the head and foot rules sit at the page top and bottom on every page; the margin holds its width
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
each release follows the previous one down the measure; "next" follows the releases
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the release list may split across pages; the "next" block must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the "next" block may occupy the final page alone; the margin and foot rule carry it
