Moved: browser/sidebar/server internals, CHANGELOG release-summary format spec, project tree, hermetic-E2E detail, slop-scan reference, OpenClaw publishing. Kept inline: every hard behavioral rule (dist/ ban, redaction scan-at-sink, egress receipts, bisect commits, eval detach, CHANGELOG entry rules), the machine-managed GBrain block (byte-identical), and the '## Deploying to the active skill' header with gbrain-refresh in range (pinned by test/gbrain-refresh-install-render.test.ts). No voice rewrites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# CHANGELOG entry format
|
|
|
|
Moved verbatim from CLAUDE.md (token-load reduction). Read this BEFORE
|
|
writing any `## [X.Y.Z]` CHANGELOG entry.
|
|
|
|
### Release-summary format (every `## [X.Y.Z]` entry)
|
|
|
|
Every version entry in `CHANGELOG.md` MUST start with a release-summary section in
|
|
the GStack/Garry voice, one viewport's worth of prose + tables that lands like a
|
|
verdict, not marketing. The itemized changelog (subsections, bullets, files) goes
|
|
BELOW that summary, separated by a `### Itemized changes` header.
|
|
|
|
The release-summary section gets read by humans, by the auto-update agent, and by
|
|
anyone deciding whether to upgrade. The itemized list is for agents that need to
|
|
know exactly what changed.
|
|
|
|
Structure for the top of every `## [X.Y.Z]` entry:
|
|
|
|
1. **Two-line bold headline** (10-14 words total). Should land like a verdict, not
|
|
marketing. Sound like someone who shipped today and cares whether it works.
|
|
2. **Lead paragraph** (3-5 sentences). What shipped, what changed for the user.
|
|
Specific, concrete, no AI vocabulary, no em dashes, no hype.
|
|
3. **A "The X numbers that matter" section** with:
|
|
- One short setup paragraph naming the source of the numbers (real production
|
|
deployment OR a reproducible benchmark, name the file/command to run).
|
|
- A table of 3-6 key metrics with BEFORE / AFTER / Δ columns.
|
|
- A second optional table for per-category breakdown if relevant.
|
|
- 1-2 sentences interpreting the most striking number in concrete user terms.
|
|
4. **A "What this means for [audience]" closing paragraph** (2-4 sentences) tying
|
|
the metrics to a real workflow shift. End with what to do.
|
|
|
|
Voice rules for the release summary:
|
|
- No em dashes (use commas, periods, "...").
|
|
- No AI vocabulary (delve, robust, comprehensive, nuanced, fundamental, etc.) or
|
|
banned phrases ("here's the kicker", "the bottom line", etc.).
|
|
- Real numbers, real file names, real commands. Not "fast" but "~30s on 30K pages."
|
|
- Short paragraphs, mix one-sentence punches with 2-3 sentence runs.
|
|
- Connect to user outcomes: "the agent does ~3x less reading" beats "improved precision."
|
|
- Be direct about quality. "Well-designed" or "this is a mess." No dancing.
|
|
|
|
Source material:
|
|
- CHANGELOG previous entry for prior context.
|
|
- Benchmark files or `/retro` output for headline numbers.
|
|
- Recent commits (`git log <prev-version>..HEAD --oneline`) for what shipped.
|
|
- Don't make up numbers. If a metric isn't in a benchmark or production data,
|
|
don't include it. Say "no measurement yet" if asked.
|
|
|
|
Target length: ~250-350 words for the summary. Should render as one viewport.
|
|
|
|
### Itemized changes (below the release summary)
|
|
|
|
Write `### Itemized changes` and continue with the detailed subsections (Added,
|
|
Changed, Fixed, For contributors). Same rules as the user-facing voice guidance
|
|
above, plus:
|
|
|
|
- **Always credit community contributions.** When an entry includes work from a
|
|
community PR, name the contributor with `Contributed by @username`. Contributors
|
|
did real work. Thank them publicly every time, no exceptions.
