Update the top Unreleased list in CHANGELOG.md from commits after the latest release.

Workflow

  1. Find the latest release base:
    • Prefer the latest reachable tag: git describe --tags --abbrev=0.
    • If there are no tags, search recent history for a release commit and use that hash.
  2. Get commits: git log <base>..HEAD --reverse --format='%H%x09%s'.
  3. Derive the GitHub repo URL from git remote get-url origin.
  4. For each commit, add one concise changelog line:
    • Format: - [<short-hash>](<url>) <one-line summary>
    • If the commit clearly relates to a PR, link the hash to the PR URL instead of the commit URL.
    • Detect PRs from subjects like (#123), merge commits, or gh pr list --search <hash> --state all --json number,url.
  5. Insert the new lines into the top Unreleased section/list in CHANGELOG.md.
    • If no Unreleased section exists, create one at the top.
    • Do not create a dated release heading unless the user asks for a release.

Rules

  • Keep one line per commit.
  • Preserve the existing changelog style when obvious.
  • Always add entries to the top Unreleased list.
  • Skip noisy commits only when clearly non-user-facing and explain what was skipped.
  • Do not invent PR links; use commit links when PR evidence is missing.
