Lightspeed feed is empty — only help-center index pages, no actual release content captured.

◆Current state
All three captured entries are help-center landing-page text — Retail Release Notes, Restaurant Release Notes, and an eCommerce Changelog index. No individual release content lands in the feed. Lightspeed runs three distinct release-note streams (Retail R-Series, Restaurant, and eCommerce), and the crawler is currently hitting the indexes rather than the per-version posts.
◆Where it's heading
From the captured data alone there is no observable product trajectory to comment on. The structure of the help-center surface confirms Lightspeed maintains three separate product surfaces — Retail, Restaurant, and eCommerce — which itself is the most we can infer: the product is still being run as three distinct vertical SKUs rather than a unified commerce platform.
◆Prediction
Actionable next step is on the data-collection side: subscribe to each of the three product changelogs separately, ideally via their RSS/Atom feeds rather than HTML scraping. Until that lands, commentary on Lightspeed will remain a 'feed-empty' verdict.

    Help-center landing page for Lightspeed Retail R-Series release notes — site chrome and search box rather than release content. The actual per-version notes are not in the feed.

    Restaurant release notes index page (feed artifact)

    Help-center landing page for Lightspeed Restaurant release notes — top-search hints (liteserver, p400) rather than release content. Same crawler issue as the Retail entry.
