CHANGELOG promotion was a manual operator step that was never run, so 463 fragments for work already shipped in <=1.3.1 accumulated in .changeset/. Their notes were already hand-curated into the dated [1.2.0]/[1.3.0]/[1.3.1] CHANGELOG sections (#690 backfill, PR #694). Rendering them now would duplicate and mis-attribute shipped work. Move them to .changeset/archived/ (read non-recursively by all changeset tooling, so never rendered), keeping only the 3 genuinely-unreleased fragments at the top level. Prep for wiring `render` into the release finalize job (#690 follow-up). Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD
Reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, deletes consumed fragments. Idempotent.
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.
