* Enforce documentation updates via lint:docs + PR templates (#3213) New scripts/lint-docs-required.cjs + Docs Required CI workflow fail any PR whose changeset fragment is typed Added / Changed / Deprecated / Removed without modifying at least one file under docs/. Mirrors scripts/changeset/lint.cjs: pure evaluateLint({ changedFiles, fragments, labels }) returning { ok, reason, triggering } over a frozen LINT_REASON enum; CLI wrapper reads the PR diff and parses each touched changeset fragment via the existing parseFragment helper. Escape hatches: - no-docs PR label (global) - per-fragment <!-- docs-exempt: <reason> --> marker, all triggering fragments must carry it for the PR to pass Fixed and Security fragments do not trigger the lint — bug fixes restore documented behavior, they do not introduce new behavior to document. PR templates (enhancement.md, feature.md) gain a Documentation checklist section pointing at the which-doc-to-update matrix. CONTRIBUTING.md adds a Documentation Updates section codifying that matrix, the English-canonical language policy for docs/ and the root README, and the two opt-out routes. Closes #3213 * Address Codex review: fail-closed on malformed fragments and strip docs-exempt marker from rendered release notes (#3213) Two P2 issues caught by `codex review --base main`: 1) Malformed fragments could silently bypass docs enforcement. parseFragment would return ok:false on a triggering Added fragment with bad frontmatter and readFragmentsFromDisk dropped it, so evaluateLint saw no triggering fragments and passed. The changeset-required lint only checks fragment _presence_ not _validity_, so the assumed fallback did not catch it. Fix: readFragmentsFromDisk now returns { fragments, malformed }; evaluateLint accepts a malformed param and emits a new FAIL_MALFORMED_FRAGMENT verdict that outranks every OK path (including the no-docs label) — a parse failure must be fixed before docs lint can decide anything else. 2) The per-fragment <!-- docs-exempt: reason --> marker lived in the fragment body, so the existing changelog (serializeChangelog) and GitHub release-notes (formatBullet) serializers published it verbatim. Worse, both serializers append `(#NNNN)` to the body's last line — with the marker as the trailing line, the PR suffix attached to the hidden comment instead of the visible bullet. Fix: parseFragment now extracts the marker into a typed `docsExempt` field and strips it from `body`, so all downstream renderers produce clean output without remembering to strip. The regex is anchored to its own line (^...$ with m flag) so inline mentions of the marker syntax in documentation (e.g. inside backticks) cannot accidentally exempt a fragment. Bounded character class [^\n>] keeps the regex linear-time. Test additions: - tests/lint-docs-required.test.cjs: FAIL_MALFORMED_FRAGMENT coverage, end-to-end "Added fragment with bad pr → malformed → fail-closed" regression test, updated readFragmentsFromDisk return-shape assertions, isExemptFragment now checks the typed docsExempt field rather than body content. - tests/changeset-parse.test.cjs: extractDocsExempt extraction cases (with/ without reason, case-insensitive, EMPTY_BODY when body is only a marker), inline-mention false-positive guard, real-marker-wins-when-also-inline test. - tests/changeset-new.test.cjs: fragment shape now includes docsExempt: null. CONTRIBUTING.md updated to clarify the "on its own line" requirement and the parse-time stripping behavior. The bootstrap fragment cleaned up so its body no longer contains a literal marker example that would have triggered the false-positive case. Full suite: 9696/9696 pass. * CRLF-safe docs-exempt marker stripping (Codex review pass 2, #3213) Second `codex review --commit` pass caught a CRLF regression in the docs-exempt extraction added in the previous commit. Repro: a Windows-authored fragment ---\r\ntype: Added\r\npr: 1\r\n---\r\nFeature.\r\n\r\n<!-- docs-exempt: x -->\r\n would parse to body `Feature.\r\n\r\n\r` because: - The previous trailing-newline slice trimmed only `\n`, leaving `\r`. - DOCS_EXEMPT_RE was anchored with `$` only — in multiline mode `$` matches before `\n` but does not consume `\r`, so the marker line's trailing `\r` was left behind after replace. - The cleanup regex stripped trailing `\n` but not `\r`. Net effect: serializeChangelog emitted - Feature.\r \r \r (#1) — the `(#1)` PR suffix landed on a blank line instead of attached to the visible bullet. Same bug surfaces in github-release-notes formatBullet. Fix: - DOCS_EXEMPT_RE: add `\r?` before `$` so the regex consumes the CR of a CRLF terminator. Switch reason character class from `[^\n>]` to `[^\r\n>]` so CRLF-authored reasons don't carry a trailing `\r`. - extractDocsExempt cleanup: `[ \t\r]+$/gm` strips trailing `\r` on each line; `(?:\r?\n){3,}` collapses CRLF triple-blank-lines; `[\r\n]+$` strips every trailing line terminator (LF or CR). - parseFragment trailing-newline slice: CRLF-aware — strips `\r\n` (2 chars) before falling through to single `\n`. Tests: two CRLF regression cases in tests/changeset-parse.test.cjs — Codex's exact repro (end-to-end through serializeChangelog) plus the no-marker CRLF passthrough case. Full suite: 9698/9698 pass. * CRLF regression test asserts on parseChangelog IR not rendered text (Codex review pass 3, #3213) Third `codex review` pass caught that the CRLF regression test added in the previous commit asserted on serializeChangelog's rendered Markdown via `out.split('\n')` + `assert.match`. That violates CONTRIBUTING.md's "Prohibited: Raw Text Matching on Test Outputs" rule and the documented serializer contract in `serialize.cjs`: > tests assert via round-trip (parse(serialize(ir))) > rather than by inspecting serialized text Replace the regex check with the established `parseChangelog(out)` round-trip and assert on the structured `{ body: 'Feature.', pr: 1 }` bullet. This is also a stronger regression check than the substring match: Codex's own probe in the review session confirmed the pre-fix buggy body shape (`Feature.\r\n\r\n\r`) breaks parseChangelog's bullet regex entirely (returns `bullets: []`), so the round-trip catches the exact failure mode end-to-end. Full suite: 9698/9698 pass. * Address CodeRabbit findings: anchor link + require non-empty docs-exempt reason (#3213) CodeRabbit's review on the PR caught two actionable issues, both quick wins. Anchor link in PR templates pointed to a heading that does not exist. The CONTRIBUTING.md heading "Documentation Updates — Update the Relevant Docs" contains an em-dash, which GitHub strips entirely when generating anchor slugs (it does NOT collapse to a hyphen). The actual anchor is #documentation-updates-update-the-relevant-docs (single hyphen between every word), not #documentation-updates--update-the-relevant-docs (double hyphen where the em-dash was). Both feature.md and enhancement.md fixed. The docs-exempt marker matched a bare `<!-- docs-exempt -->` with no reason, which defeats the entire purpose of the escape hatch — the marker exists to leave an audit trail explaining WHY a PR is exempt. Without a reason it is a silent bypass. Fix: DOCS_EXEMPT_RE now requires both the colon AND a non-whitespace first reason character. Bare `<!-- docs-exempt -->`, empty `<!-- docs-exempt: -->`, and whitespace-only `<!-- docs-exempt: -->` are all rejected as if the marker were not present (`docsExempt: null`). The lint then falls through to its normal docs-required / no-docs-label checks. `isExemptFragment` in the lint module tightened too — defense-in-depth: even if a caller constructs a fragment with `docsExempt: ''` directly, it does not count as exempt. The predicate now requires `typeof === 'string'` and non-empty after trim. Tests: - changeset-parse.test.cjs: three new explicit-rejection cases (bare marker, empty reason, whitespace-only reason). Existing DOCS_EXEMPT_RE shape test extended with negative assertions for the same three forms. - lint-docs-required.test.cjs: prior "empty reason still exempt" test inverted — empty/whitespace docsExempt now produces FAIL_DOCS_MISSING. isExemptFragment helper test extended with the same negative cases. - CONTRIBUTING.md: clarified that the reason is required and non-empty. Skipped CodeRabbit's third finding ("use `npm run lint:docs` in CI workflow instead of `node scripts/lint-docs-required.cjs`") — the existing changeset-required.yml uses the direct-node form for the equivalent changeset lint, so the new docs-required.yml is convention-consistent. Switching one without the other would create drift, and switching both is out of scope for #3213. Bootstrap fragment continues to extract cleanly under the stricter regex (verified — `docsExempt` field still contains the full bootstrap reason). Full suite: 9701/9701 pass.
