+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING**: Replace `serde` dependency with Python stdlib `dataclasses`.
+  The `serde` library is unmaintained. All models now use `@dataclass` with a
+  custom `Model` base class that provides the same `from_dict()`/`to_dict()`
+  API. `ValidationError` is now exported from `l9format` directly instead of
+  `serde`.
+- Remove `Decimal` custom field class (was a `serde.fields.Instance` subclass).
+  Decimal serialization/deserialization is now handled internally by the `Model`
+  base class.
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+- CI: add Python 3.14 to test matrix
+- Remove serde-specific mypy overrides from `pyproject.toml`
+
