 # Major Change Log: 
 
+# Codes/Tickets  
+### Aug 15, 2026 
+The profile object now has a ticket field.  It's now none by default.  Also the profile object is passed in, for the use of tickets, both for GUI and core.

 # Wipe & Respawn Codes/Tickets  
 ### Aug 14, 2026  
-Introduced Ticket/Billing-Code Respawn, with dual paths on the ticket prep orchestration, it's helper functions, and the main prep controller.  This introduced the functions, which were tested with a demo CLI client and local server, and appears to be stable.  Server-side endpoints will be pushed as well.  Note: This update couples profiles more closely with which ticket slot is being used for it, but they are not yet officially tied.  In the future, they should be.
