Evidence from the diff
The diff is a documentation-only edit to CHANGELOG.md. It adds the v26.06.1 release notes, which state that the point release fixes the bwatch plugin failing to register on startup after make install (PR #9192), and updates the v26.06 entry to say the plugin is enabled with experimental-bwatch instead of plugin=bwatch. No source code, build scripts, or configuration logic is modified.
