+Add the AdCP 3.2 draft account change feed from RFC #6810: source-neutral authoritative reads, `list_account_changes`, `account.change_recorded`, account-specific connected-source coverage, 90-day retention, explicit cursor-expiry recovery, capability-gated conformance, and a shared-account training lab. The draft remains blocked on RFC ratification before merge.

+"og:title": "AdCP — list_account_changes"
+testable: false
+---
+
+`list_account_changes` returns material changes to AdCP-visible state on one
+account, including changes made outside the observing buyer's calls. Use it
+after a snapshot bootstrap, after receiving `account.change_recorded`, or for
+an account-level audit of state transitions.
+
+<Warning>
+This is a 3.2 implementation draft for [RFC #6810](https://github.com/adcontextprotocol/adcp/issues/6810). It is not normative until the RFC is ratified.
+</Warning>
+
+The feed is optional and appears only when
+`get_adcp_capabilities.account.change_feed.supported` is `true`.
+
+## What the feed covers
+
+For every resource type the seller advertises, a material committed change
+must both appear here and be reflected on its authoritative read, regardless
+of whether it originated through AdCP, a seller operator or system, another
+authorized principal, or a connected platform.
+
+The feed describes control-plane changes: creation, configuration, lifecycle,
+relationships, reporting corrections, and deletion markers. It excludes
+reads, failed operations, dry runs, exact idempotency replays, delivery counter
+increments, raw audience members, raw events, catalog item bodies, and webhook
+delivery attempts.
+
+For the complete coverage matrix and rationale, see the
+[account change feed draft](https://github.com/adcontextprotocol/adcp/blob/main/specs/account-change-feed.md).
+
+## Request
+
+**Request schema:** [`account/list-account-changes-request.json`](https://adcontextprotocol.org/schemas/latest/account/list-account-changes-request.json)
+
+| Field | Required | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `account` | Yes | Exactly one account reference. |
+| `cursor` | No | Opaque checkpoint from an earlier call under the same principal, account, and filters. Mutually exclusive with `starting_position`. |
+| `starting_position` | No | `earliest` (default) or `latest`. Use `latest` before a snapshot bootstrap. |
+| `resource_types` | No | Exact resource-type filter. The cursor is bound to the normalized filter. |
+| `max_results` | No | 1–100 changes; default 50. |
+
+Acquire a high-water checkpoint before reading several snapshots:
+
+```json
+{
+  "adcp_version": "3.2",
+  "account": { "account_id": "acc_luma_shared" },
+  "starting_position": "latest",
+  "max_results": 100
+}
+```
+
+## Response
+
+**Response schema:** [`account/list-account-changes-response.json`](https://adcontextprotocol.org/schemas/latest/account/list-account-changes-response.json)
+
+| Field | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `changes` | Oldest-first material change records. |
+| `cursor` | Checkpoint after the scanned high-water. Always present, even on an empty tail page. |
+| `has_more` | Whether more retained matching records were available when the page was generated. |
+| `available_since` | Current retention boundary for this caller and account. |
+| `generated_at` | Seller time for the page and coverage watermarks. |
+| `source_coverage` | Optional per-account connected-source status and freshness. |
+
+Each change record names the changed resource, action, server-derived origin,
+optional changed paths and revision, and an allowlisted read-only
+`repair.task` hint. It deliberately does not include full before/after values.
+
+```json

+  "generated_at": "2026-08-24T12:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+## Cursor contract
+
+Cursor order, not timestamps, defines the total order. Appends never reorder
+prior pages. A filtered empty page still advances across scanned nonmatching
+records, so persist every returned cursor.
+
+A cursor is scoped to the authenticated principal, resolved account, and
+normalized filters. Do not move it between credentials or filter sets.
+
+Sellers retain changes for at least 90 days. An expired cursor returns
+[`CURSOR_EXPIRED`](/docs/building/verification/compliance-catalog#error-code-cursor-expired); it never silently restarts. Recovery is to obtain a new
+`latest` checkpoint, rebuild all authoritative snapshots, then drain changes
+after the checkpoint.
+
+## Race-free bootstrap
+
+1. Register `account.change_recorded` through [`sync_accounts`](/docs/accounts/tasks/sync_accounts#account-change-feed-notifications).
+2. Obtain C0 with `starting_position: "latest"`.
+3. Enumerate [`list_accounts`](/docs/accounts/tasks/list_accounts), [`get_media_buys`](/docs/media-buy/task-reference/get_media_buys), [`list_creatives`](/docs/creative/task-reference/list_creatives), financials,
+   delivery, and other advertised reads for the account. Include all lifecycle
+   statuses and exhaust every page.
+4. Drain changes after C0. Locally allowlist `repair.task`, construct and
+   validate the read request from the authenticated account and `resource`
+   identity, then invoke it. Never dispatch feed-supplied task arguments.
+5. Persist the returned cursor and repeat after each signed notification.
+6. Poll periodically so a missed webhook does not create a gap.
+
+The webhook's optional `through_cursor` is only a target watermark. Do not
+install it without reading all intervening pages.
+
+## Shared-account example
+
+Suppose a connected platform changes `cr_8421` while the buyer is idle. The
+seller records the creative revision, makes it visible on [`list_creatives`](/docs/creative/task-reference/list_creatives),
+appends the account change, and then fires `account.change_recorded`. The buyer
+drains from its cursor and rereads `list_creatives`; it does not treat the
+webhook payload as the creative document.
+
+This is the same flow for a seller operator changing a campaign budget or
+another authorized buyer pausing a package. Account visibility is based on
+current authorization, not on which principal created the resource.
+
+## Relationship to `webhook_activity`
+
+`webhook_activity[]` answers whether a webhook delivery was attempted. This
+feed answers which material business-state changes were recorded. A change can
+exist even when a webhook is missed; one change can also have several delivery
+attempts. Never use the transport log as account history.

 For upstream-managed account namespaces, `list_accounts` is not optional discovery polish; it is the namespace discovery contract.

[`sync_accounts`](/docs/accounts/tasks/sync_accounts) provisioning does not create account-id accounts in 3.0.x unless a future explicit capability declares that mode; if `sync_accounts` is exposed on these sellers today, use it only for settings updates against an account already identified by `account_id`.

 For buyer-declared accounts, `list_accounts` MUST return the current canonical natural-key fields needed to use the account again.

A requested identity in `identity_change` is not a usable account reference until it becomes canonical.

 Before relying on durable account lifecycle webhooks, read `get_adcp_capabilities.account.notifications`.

+### Account change feed notifications

+`account.change_recorded` is the generic wake-up for the optional durable
+[`list_account_changes`](/docs/accounts/tasks/list_account_changes) feed. It
+covers committed material changes from every origin within the seller's

+event type, the seller MUST advertise

+overlap this generic fire.
