Why it moved the index

Perplexity's dated first-party changelog directly documents Opus 5 operating across both search and longer computer-using workflows. Magnitude is moderately high because the deployment combines broad user access with sustained task execution on a separate agent surface. Confidence is high because the product availability and workflow scope are explicit.
