docs(changelog): add release notes through 2026.9.700

Populate CHANGELOG with detailed release entries up to 2026.9.700 and tidy historical notes. The new content documents recent features and fixes (notably DEF block template/address handling, the BLOCK_LIST/ADDR_LIST completion keywords, comment spacing/formatting changes, and the persistent workspace index), and cleans up formatting and older release headings for readability.

+Versions correspond to the Git tags of this repository.

 ## Unreleased
 
-- Reparse only the top-level TCL commands touched by an edit instead of the whole file
-- Cache the workspace index in the extension storage so restarts skip reparsing unchanged files; the cache is discarded automatically when the server or bundled tclint changes
+### Documentation
+
+- Document DEF block templates, addresses, `BLOCK_LIST`/`ADDR_LIST`, and the formatting changes in the README
+
+## [2026.9.700] - 2026-09-24
+
+### Added
+
+- `BLOCK_LIST` and `ADDR_LIST` completion keywords that list all loaded block templates or addresses; the keyword is replaced by the selected quoted name
+
+### Changed
+
+- Format comments with a space after `#` (`#Comment` becomes `# Comment`); `##` separators, `#!`, and comments that already start with whitespace stay unchanged
+
+## [2026.9.600] - 2026-09-24
+
+### Added
+
+- Read `BLOCK_TEMPLATE` and `ADDRESS` names from the `.def` files listed under `<DefinedEvents>` in PSC layers; changes to PSC and DEF files are picked up automatically
+- Suggest block templates for `MOM_do_template` and addresses for `MOM_ask_address_value`, `MOM_force`, and `MOM_suppress`, each followed by variables
+- Suggest `Always`, `Once`, and `Off` for the first argument of `MOM_force` and `MOM_suppress`
+- Insert block templates, addresses, and modes in quotes without doubling typed or auto-closed quotes; insert variables with a leading `$`
+- Persistent workspace index in the extension storage, so restarts skip reparsing unchanged files; the cache is discarded automatically when the server or bundled tclint changes
+
+### Changed
+
+- Reparse only the top-level Tcl commands touched by an edit instead of the whole file
 - Speed up TclOO completion, signature help, inlay hints, and Go to Definition by reusing the cached syntax tree and skipping files without classes
 - Speed up references, document highlights, and call hierarchy with cached definition lookups
 - Keep background indexing from blocking requests that need a fresh syntax tree
-- Add Go to Definition for TclOO classes, constructors, and resolved methods, including PSC library definitions
-- Index PSC layer scripts (including external paths and legacy Windows encoding) and share TclOO class metadata across files for completion, signatures, inlay hints, and highlighting
-- Add document-local TclOO method completion for `new`/`create` instances, `my`, and statically inferred return chains
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Format and lint `uplevel` bodies as Tcl scripts instead of leaving them untouched
+- Stop the Python debug bootstrap with a clear error instead of hanging when no debugpy listener or only a stale one is available
+
+## [2026.9.501] - 2026-09-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Highlight braced stored-procedure names in `lappend` arguments
+

+- Share TclOO class metadata across files for completion, signature help, inlay hints, and highlighting
+- Go to Definition for TclOO classes, constructors, and resolved methods, including PSC library definitions
+- CDL event handler snippets declare an extra `<var>_defined` global for parameters marked `TOGGLE Off`
+- Allow `INVALID` in the CDL `CATEGORY` grammar
+
+## [2026.9.400] - 2026-09-11
+
+### Added
+
+- Document-local TclOO method completion for `new`/`create` instances, `my`, and statically inferred return chains
+- Signature help and parameter inlay hints for resolved TclOO methods and constructors, including optional and variadic arguments
 - Suggest TclOO class names as classes and semantically highlight their declarations and calls
-- Show signature help and parameter inlay hints for resolved TclOO methods and constructors, including optional and variadic arguments
-- Add incoming and outgoing call hierarchy for custom TCL procedures and MOM event handlers
-- Add document highlights for procedure and variable occurrences
-- Make completion context-aware and prioritize local, current-file, workspace, and built-in symbols
-- Add command-aware completion for Tcl subcommands, fixed arguments, and valid options
-- Add semantic argument completion for variables, procedures, namespaces, and local file paths
-- Add placeholder-based snippets for common Tcl structures and `dict for`
-- Integrate the NX Tcl Remote Debugger directly into NX Postprocessor Support
-- Add `nx-tcl` attach configurations and breakpoint support for TCL and DEF files
-- Support breakpoints, stepping, stack frames, variables, watches, evaluation, logpoints, hit conditions, and Tcl error stops
-- Add generation-safe stack and variable references so delayed VS Code requests cannot address stale NX frames
-- Add command-buffer breakpoint handling for `LIB_GE_command_buffer_edit_*` source bodies
-- Extend the README with launch configuration, path mapping, and debugger usage
-- Prevent truncated TCL inlay hints and add configurable parameter hint modes

 truncate later parameter names on a line. An explicit user setting for

+## DEF Block Templates and Addresses
+
+The language server resolves the `.def` files of every PSC layer's `<DefinedEvents>` section the
+same way as layer scripts (relative to the PSC, `SubFolder`, environment variables, missing `.def`
+extension) and collects all `BLOCK_TEMPLATE` and `ADDRESS` declarations. Changes to PSC or DEF files
+are picked up automatically.
+
+| Command | Suggestions |
+|---|---|
+| `MOM_do_template` | Block templates, then variables |
+| `MOM_ask_address_value` | Addresses, then variables |
+| `MOM_force`, `MOM_suppress` | 1st argument: `Always`, `Once`, `Off`, then variables; further arguments: addresses, then variables |
+
+Block templates, addresses, and `Always|Once|Off` are inserted in quotes (`"steady_rest"`); a quote
+that is already typed or auto-closed is replaced instead of doubled. Variables are inserted with a
+leading `$`. Typing `$` yourself still shows variables only.
+
+Two keywords list all loaded names anywhere in a Tcl file:
+
+- `BLOCK_LIST` - shows all block templates
+- `ADDR_LIST` - shows all addresses
+
+Select the keyword from the completion list (or type it completely) to open the list; text typed
+directly after the keyword, such as `ADDR_LISTSP`, narrows it. The keyword is replaced by the
+selected quoted name.
