 All notable changes to Epicure are documented here. This file is mirrored in-app at `/changelog` (and in the admin dashboard) via `apps/web/lib/changelog.ts` — update both together.
 
+## 0.55.3 — 2026-07-19 19:00
+
+### Fixed
+- Admin Insights page's actual crash, found from server logs: the page (a server component) was passing plain formatter functions as props into its chart components (client components) — React can't serialize functions across that boundary. Replaced with a plain string prop ("day" vs "month") formatted inside the client component instead.
+
 ## 0.55.2 — 2026-07-19 18:20
