 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-23 - 1.3.1 - fix(statuspage)
+update timeline connector and dot positioning in statuspage incidents component

+- Use sharedStyles.colors.border.default for the connector background instead of a theme gradient
+- Adjust connector and dot offsets for desktop and mobile to align with dot size and border, improving visual alignment
+- Add clarifying comments about dot dimensions and center calculations
+
 ## 2025-12-23 - 1.3.0 - feat(statuspage)
 use dynamic status-based accent colors and computed card statuses; update stat card markup and incident/response displays
