Below: the paragraph from the book that builds this idea, then the diagram itself, and a recap. About a minute of reading.
The short version is a single dated line: a company founded in 2019 changed its public name once, kept building one current model family, and still keeps an older one visible on its own developer pages. Figure 1.1 lays out the full sequence, with each date's source marked so you can tell which parts come from the company itself and which come from independent reporting.
