 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-10-08 11:34 CEST — fix(python): return months_to_show from /api/adults and /api/juniors
+
+- Go already returned `months_to_show` in the JSON API; Python only passed it to its HTML templates. Backported the key so the API contract matches and `make parity` reports 3/3 routes.
+- Key files: `legacy/app.py`, `legacy/tests/test_app.py`.
+
 ## 2026-10-08 11:34 CEST — fix: VS is always a string, on read and on write
 
 - Go rendered numeric sheet cells with `fmt.Sprint`, so a numeric VS came out as `2.609767878e+09`. Text columns of the payments sheet now go through `sheets.CellString` (plain digits); bank inference uses it too.
