+## [2.1.5] - 2026-01-22
+
+### Added
+- **METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md** tracking document for methodology review progress
+  - Review status summary table for all 12 estimators
+  - Detailed notes template for each estimator by category
+  - Review process guidelines with checklist and priority ordering
+- **`base_period` parameter** for CallawaySantAnna pre-treatment effect computation
+  - "varying" (default): Pre-treatment uses t-1 as base (consecutive comparisons)
+  - "universal": All comparisons use g-anticipation-1 as base
+  - Matches R `did::att_gt()` base_period parameter
+- **Pre-merge-check skill** (`/pre-merge-check`) for automated PR validation
+  - Pattern checks for NaN handling consistency
+  - Context-specific checklist generation
+
+### Changed
+- **Tutorial 02 improvements**: Added pre-trends section, clarified base_period interaction with anticipation
+
+### Fixed
+- Not-yet-treated control group now properly excludes cohort g when computing ATT(g,t)
+- Aggregation t_stat uses NaN (not 0.0) when SE is non-finite or zero
+- Bootstrap inference for pre-treatment effects with `base_period="varying"`
+- NaN propagation for empty post-treatment effects in CallawaySantAnna
+- Grep word boundary pattern in pre-merge-check skill
