FYI: Very much in draft still

- Link blog features to catalog IDs (git-integration, ff-expert)
  instead of manual tiers so badges auto-derive from source of truth
- Move Azure DevOps changelog entry from pipelines to git-integration
- Fix release version string (2.29.0 → 2.29) for changelog link matching
- Fix Expert self-hosted copy: "can now be enabled" not "is available"
- Remove redundant pipeline mentions in Azure DevOps section
- Use "snapshots" (correct term) instead of "flows" for git push/pull
- Blueprint: "now support markdown rendering" (new feature, not a fix)
- Drop blanket tier badge from mixed "What else is new?" section

- Feature ID git-integration → git-integration-azure for changelog link
- Remove redundant "pipelines" from subtitle and description
…fixes

- Split Expert section into two H3s: self-hosted availability + new
  clickable action links feature (treated as shipping in 2.29)
- Add compact Node-RED subsection in 'What else is new?' covering
  4.1.8 release and Node-RED 5.0 beta tease
- Remove em dashes throughout per global style preference
- Lead Try FlowFuse CTAs with the action link (instead of preamble),
  shift outcome from 'Node-RED instances running' to ICP outcomes
  (IT/OT connectivity, on-premise data)
- Pull 4.1.8 bullet out of misc list into Node-RED subsection
Removed duplicate changelog entry and added a video demo link for the snapshot diff sidebar.

@FlowFuse/engineering went over this together and we made our updates (added images, removed a couple bullet points, and added changelog links). It's good to go from our end content-wise. :)

Only the Azure changelog is rendering properly, could you please take a look?

@allthedoll I believe those are supposed to be injected from the features yaml file, check out this handbook section.
