readVerificationStatus() decided a phase's verification was `stale` (a *-SUMMARY.md newer than the *-VERIFICATION.md) by comparing filesystem mtimes. mtimes are assigned at checkout time and are not preserved by `git clone` / `cp -R`, and any unrelated `touch` / reformat / editor-save re-stales a valid report — so a committed phase declaring `status: passed` could silently read `stale` on a fresh clone purely from checkout order, falsely rewriting a ROADMAP row and blocking milestone close (#2022 gate). Each file's effective "last changed" time is now its git commit time when the file is committed AND clean, and its mtime otherwise (uncommitted or working-tree-dirty). Both are real wall-clock change times, so a summary committed after — or edited after — the verification reads stale, while a clean fresh clone stays passed. Git commit time is content-tied and clone- stable; mtime is retained only where it is the true last-changed signal. Implementation: - Two bounded git calls per phase (never one-per-file): `git log --first-parent --format=%ct --name-only` for commit times, and `git diff --name-only HEAD` to drop dirty files. readVerificationStatus runs per-phase in the init/roadmap listing loops, so per-file spawning would fan out to P×(S+1) git processes ("Unbounded Subprocesses"). - `--first-parent` so merge commits report their file lists (plain `--name-only` omits merge diffs and would under-date merge-landed content). - The dirty-check fails SAFE: if `git diff` is inconclusive (errors / exits non-zero) the commit times are discarded so every file falls back to mtime, never trusting a possibly-stale commit time (no false "not stale"). - Paths matched back by `/`-bounded suffix (root vs nested `plans/` can't collide) and passed after `--` (dash-named files can't be read as flags). - A phase with no summaries skips git entirely; the scan short-circuits on the first stale summary. A `phaseCleanCommitTimesMs` seam keeps the unit tests hermetic (no git spawn); the resolver's two-call error handling is unit-tested via an injected execGit; two real-git integration tests lock the end-to-end path, the committed-then-edited (dirty) regression, and the `--` argv guard.
Changeset Fragments
This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.
Why
Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.
See #2975 for the full rationale.
Adding a fragment
node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
--type Fixed \
--pr 1234 \
--body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"
This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.
Format
---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.
Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.
Opting out
PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.
At release time
Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:
node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty
This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.
Archived fragments
.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
