 ### Added
 
+- `player_status.is_silent_reload` in the CS2 spec and data dictionary, and in the CS2 changelog under 2026-10-31 (provisional: the date is corrected when the parser release with the column reaches production).
 - The CS2 spec and data dictionary describe four new channels, `map_ping` (ping-button markers), `player_round_stats` (the game's own per-round scoreboard), `round_facts` (the round-end fun fact) and `vote` (finished team votes), and `tick`'s `host_time_us` and `host_time_sd_us`. Channel counts across the docs go to 55.
 - `player_command` and `player_subtick_input` in the CS2 spec and data dictionary, and 51 channels in the counts.
 - `player_personal`'s client-settings columns (`crosshair_code` and the four `viewmodel_*` columns) in the CS2 spec and data dictionary, marked as redacted in the data set.

 ## player_status
 
+- **2026-10-31**, column added: `is_silent_reload`. Boolean, nullable: true while the player's held weapon is reloading silently. CS2's update of 2026-09-22 lets a player reload silently, and more slowly, by holding the reload key. It is true only while the weapon is in a reload (`is_in_reload`), from the moment the game marks the reload silent, about a quarter of a second in. A silent reload's magazine lands up to twice as late as a normal one's. It is null when no weapon is held, and on every match recorded before the 2026-09-22 update, since those demos don't carry the game's flag. Matches processed before this date don't have the column.
 - **2026-10-21**, column removed: `is_spotted`. **Breaking:** no longer written, so code that reads it breaks. It was the game's own "spotted" flag on each player, and it proved unreliable as a sign of who could see whom: checked against real kills, it was never set for one victim who was being shot, and set only a fraction of a second before another kill. Matches published earlier keep the column. Some later manifests still list it, with origin `replay-deleted` and no data behind it.
 - **2026-10-14**, columns added: `progress_bar_start`, `progress_bar_duration`, `last_injury_time`, `is_in_reload`, `reserve_ammo`, `deploy_tick`. The player's and the held weapon's own state, all nullable. `progress_bar_start` and `progress_bar_duration` are the defuse progress bar. `progress_bar_start` is when the player's last defuse began, in seconds on the clock of `second`, and keeps that value after the defuse ends. `progress_bar_duration` is the bar's length in seconds while it shows (10, or 5 with a kit) and negative otherwise. CS2 doesn't use the bar for planting. `last_injury_time` is when the player last took damage, on the clock of `second`. Both times are null until first set. `is_in_reload` is the held weapon's reload flag; unlike `is_reloading` it falls as soon as a reload stops, and about a third of reloads end early in a weapon switch. `reserve_ammo` is the held weapon's reserve and drops by one magazine per completed reload; null for knives, grenades and equipment. `deploy_tick` is the tick the held weapon was drawn, joinable on `tick`.
 - **2026-10-05**, types changed: `player_id_fixed`. An integer in every match, with nulls where no player matched. Before, a match in which any row found no player wrote the column as a double, so its type changed from match to match.
