+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- Accessibility: set `accessibilityState.busy` automatically while `loading={true}`
+- Reduce Motion: render a static `baseColor` skeleton when the system setting is enabled (no shimmer animation)
+- DEV warning when `loading` is omitted but `children` are present (defaults to `true`)
+- Example app: Reduce Motion banner, wrapped Lines demo, accessibility labels
+
+### Changed
+
+- `GleamView.Line` nested inside intermediate wrappers (e.g. `<View>`) is detected on the first render — stable ref, no NativeGleamView→View flip
+
+### Fixed
+
+- CI: add missing CocoaPods cache step referenced by the iOS build job
+- CI: always run `pod install` after cache restore (codegen needs fresh `build/generated`)
+- CI: stop caching `vendor/bundle` (stale gems broke Ruby 3.4 pod install)
+- Example: add `nkf` and `base64` gems for Ruby 3.4 / CocoaPods compatibility
+
 ## [1.0.6] - 2026-05-15

 - The shimmer overlay supports uniform `borderRadius` only — per-corner radii are not applied to the shimmer.
 
+## Accessibility
+
+When `loading={true}`, `GleamView` and `GleamView.Line` automatically set `accessibilityState={{ busy: true }}` (merged with any existing `accessibilityState` you pass).
+
+When the system **Reduce Motion** setting is enabled, shimmer animation is replaced by a static `baseColor` placeholder — no native animation runs until content loads.
+
+## Example app
+
+The [`example/`](example/) app includes interactive demos for all props plus:
+
+- **Reduce Motion** — live status banner (toggle in system accessibility settings)
+- **Wrapped Lines** — `GleamView.Line` nested inside a `<View>` wrapper
+- **Accessibility** — `accessibilityLabel` / `accessibilityRole` on lines; `accessibilityState.busy` while loading
