Pull Request

Purpose

Establish systematic changelog maintenance through PR automation and synchronize roadmap documentation with current development branches.

Change Summary

Roadmap Synchronization

  • Added v03.07.00 (this PR) and v03.08.00 (PRs #62, #65) to version timeline
  • Documented installation automation, cache-based minification, and document generation features
  • Fixed chronological ordering (newest-first) in timeline and revision history

Changelog Automation System

  • Created docs/CHANGELOG_PROCESS.md (13KB) - complete workflow guide covering PR-based process, writing guidelines, categories, examples, and troubleshooting
  • Enhanced PR template with structured changelog entry section including format guide and category reference
  • Implemented GitHub Actions validation workflow:
    • Parses PR description for changelog entries
    • Validates format and category presence
    • Auto-comments with guidance on missing/invalid entries
    • Manages "needs-changelog" label
    • Skips automated PRs (Dependabot, bots)
  • Integrated changelog requirements into CONTRIBUTING.md, WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md, and docs/README.md
  • Added [Unreleased] section to CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog format

Files Created

  • .github/workflows/changelog-validation.yml - automated validation
  • docs/CHANGELOG_PROCESS.md - comprehensive process guide

Files Modified

  • .github/pull_request_template.md - changelog entry section
  • CHANGELOG.md - unreleased entries and current changes
  • CONTRIBUTING.md - changelog maintenance requirements
  • docs/README.md - navigation updates
  • docs/WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md - changelog workflow integration
  • docs/ROADMAP.md - version timeline and development status

Changelog Entry

### Added
- PR-based changelog process with comprehensive documentation (#66)
- GitHub Actions workflow for automatic changelog validation and PR labeling (#66)
- Document generation system as planned roadmap feature (#66)

### Changed
- Updated roadmap with v03.07.00 and v03.08.00 development status (#66)
- Synchronized roadmap version timeline with active development branches (#66)

Testing Evidence

  • Documentation reviewed for accuracy and markdown validity
  • GitHub Actions workflow syntax validated
  • CHANGELOG.md format verified against Keep a Changelog standard
  • All cross-references between documentation files confirmed

Risk and Rollback

Risk: Low - documentation and automation only, no code changes

Rollback: git revert - no database or configuration state to manage

Checklist

  • Follows Conventional Commits
  • Tests added or updated (N/A - documentation/automation)
  • Documentation updated if required
  • License header present where applicable
  • Linked issue(s) referenced
  • Changelog entry provided above

Reviewer Notes

Automation Behavior:

  • Workflow triggers on PR open/edit/sync to main, dev/, rc/, version/** branches
  • Checks for ## Changelog Entry section with valid markdown code block
  • Requires category headers (Added, Changed, etc.) - rejects placeholders
  • Labels PRs with needs-changelog when validation fails
  • Skips Dependabot and bot PRs automatically

Process Impact:

  • Contributors: Fill changelog entry in PR template (guided by inline instructions)
  • Maintainers: Copy validated entry to CHANGELOG.md on merge
  • Release: Move [Unreleased] entries to versioned section
