Recently shipped Instant Link, LendScore 2, and Chase consent-expiration visibility.

**Instant Link and LendScore 2 shipped.** Qualifying sessions return permissioned insights in under two seconds via Instant Link. LendScore 2 adds Core, auto, home lending, and short-term models.

**Chase consent expiration is now readable.** `/item/get` returns `consent_expiration_time` for Chase Items, backfilled for Items connected since August 21, 2026. Integrate update mode so users can renew expired Items.

**Check, Identity, and Transfer gained new surface.**
- Plaid Check added `paired_item_id` on Items and `paired_account_id` on Accounts; `/cra/report/create` and `/cra/report/get` replace the older `/check_report/` endpoints, which still work.
- Identity released `/identity/match/list`; Identity Verification now returns SSA verification results on ID numbers.
- Transfer added an `adjustment` event type, multiple Proof of Authorization contact emails, and a redesigned Overview page; beta `/beta/webhook_events/list` recovers missed webhooks.
- Transactions now cover auto loans and lines of credit.

**Account subtypes are changing — breaking.** The unused `installment` and `charge card` subtypes are gone. From October 11, 2026, `home equity` covers HELOCs only, home equity loans move to a new `home equity loan` subtype, and `commercial` splits off `commercial line of credit`.

**SDKs and Link.** A rewritten Go client shipped, out of beta. Link's Android SDK v6.3.0 added automatic session handoff for Embedded Link; iOS v7.2.2 fixed Link opening at the wrong width on iPad and iPhone Duo. Haitian Creole (`ht`) joined the supported languages, and the Returning User Experience reached the UK.
