 ## Unreleased
 
+- `apple listing` refused by an approved version waiting for a manual release now names the way out:
+  `storebound apple release --manual-release --version <v>`. `play release --dry` shows the staged rollout share.
+
 - **Desktop: a new home.** Store-style app cards (your rendered screenshots, or the icon on its tint), a release
   pipeline per store (Build -> Testing -> Review -> Live -> Rollout), the crash curve and one next-step button per app;
   below, What changed and Fix first. The table view stays one switch away.
