…ever needed Two changelogs exist and only one had enforcement. The per-package files are written by `changeset version` and cannot be forgotten. The root CHANGELOG.md is hand-written, is what a self-hoster reads to decide whether to upgrade, and nothing checked it -- so on 2026-08-15 it had been untouched for four days across 22 merged PRs, every one of which carried a changeset. The rule was in CONTRIBUTING and the enforcement was in neither place. Backfill first: of 27 unconsumed changesets, three had an entry. One of the missing ones was a breaking change -- node-22-floor, "Requires Node.js >= 22", dated after the v0.18.0 tag. A self-hoster on Node 20 would have upgraded into a break with nothing in the release notes to warn them. The Unreleased section goes from three entries to eleven, grouped by what a user experiences rather than one line per changeset: the six input-truthfulness changesets are one story and read as one. Then the gate, as a branch of the existing check rather than a new script -- same CI job, same escape-hatch idiom. A branch that adds a changeset and leaves CHANGELOG.md untouched fails. Not every changeset earns an entry, and forcing one would fill the file with noise a user cannot act on, so a changeset opts out in its own body: <!-- changelog: internal -- reason --> The marker lives in the changeset rather than the PR body because it classifies that change, and because one PR can carry two changesets needing different answers. Anchored to a line of its own, like no-changeset: prose that happens to contain the words is not an opt-out, which is the shape this repo has been bitten by twice. auditIntegration's own header says the half that broke twice was the wiring, not the parsing -- and that file covered only --audit, leaving the PR gate with no integration coverage at all. Four tests now drive the real CLI against a throwaway repo shaped like a PR. Mutations confirm both halves: removing the wiring kills an integration test, unanchoring the marker kills the prose-is-not-a-marker one.

…past added-only Adversarial review of 605318f. The input-truthfulness entry invented a third disposition -- "or nothing reached the device" -- and that is the wording the fix it summarises deliberately removed as wrong. An acknowledgement can arrive after the wait for it has ended, so the clients answer "could not confirm" and never "dropped"; a reader told otherwise retries an input that may have landed, which duplicates it. Two dispositions, and the entry now says why the second one is not the first. The same entry claimed the relay knew "within a second"; no changeset states a timing. Breaking Changes listed Node and nothing else, while four changesets declare an upgrade cost of their own. The sharpest is the correlator: an agent from before this release does not echo it, the reply is discarded rather than misattributed, and the dashboard sits on "Installing..." with no Launch control. That is the primary manual-testing flow breaking on a mixed-version install, and the section said the only action needed was nvm install 22. This repo has done it right before -- CHANGELOG.md:143 carries the v0.14.0 version of the same warning. And the backfill reproduced the failure it exists to end: #533 had no entry. Its user-visible symptom is #440's "app install intermittently fails with No devices are booted", 7.6 seconds of a device being announced ready before it was. A file that reads as complete is one nobody re-derives. The gate keyed on --diff-filter=A, so a PR extending an existing unconsumed changeset -- the ordinary shape of a second PR on one subject -- was invisible. AMR now, which is what the audit half already counts and for the same reason. Bot PRs and no-changeset branches remain uncovered and the docstring says so rather than implying otherwise. One integration test's comment described an ordering the file does not have: there is no gate ahead of it, the changelog block runs first, and it passed because a branch with no changeset owes no entry. Stating the wrong mechanism is worse than stating none. It now asserts what it actually holds -- that the branch prints the changeset instruction and not the changelog one, since a contributor sent to the wrong file is the failure.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR updates the root changelog and extends the changeset gate. The gate now requires changelog entries for relevant added, modified, or renamed changesets unless they contain an internal-change marker. Unit and integration tests cover these rules. ChangesChangelog governance
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds enforcement for keeping the root changelog current, but the current implementation can both let a deleted changelog satisfy the gate and reject valid amended or renamed changesets; it also permits an undocumented internal opt-out. The enforcement is not merge-ready until these cases are corrected. Possibly related PRs

Remove the unsupported 7.6 seconds claim.

And the input-truthfulness entry invented a third disposition ("nothing reached the device") which is the exact wording the fix it summarises removed as wrong; a reader told the tool can say that would retry an input that may have landed.
