Summary

  • @semantic-release/changelog's changelogTitle option was unset, so prepare.js never recognized the existing Keep-a-Changelog header/preamble in CHANGELOG.md and kept prepending new release notes above it on every release — silently pushing the header further down the file each time.
  • .releaserc.json: set changelogTitle to "# Changelog" on the @semantic-release/changelog plugin entry so future releases insert new entries below the header instead of above it.
  • CHANGELOG.md: moved the orphaned header block (title, preamble, ## [Unreleased] section) back to the top of the file, above the real version history, verbatim (no wording changes).

Same fix pattern as WYRE-AI/node-domotz#49, applied here as a follow-up across the other affected WYRE-AI node-* client repos.

Test plan

  • .releaserc.json validated as JSON (python3 -I -c "import json; json.load(open('.releaserc.json'))")
  • CHANGELOG.md diff is a pure reorder (line count unchanged: 165 → 165), no content rewritten
  • Next semantic-release run inserts new entries below the header, not above it (cannot be verified pre-merge — only exercised on a real release)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • The changelog now has a standard title, with its introductory text and Unreleased entries appearing once at the beginning.
    • Generated changelogs include a Changelog title and place release notes in relation to existing content, including when the changelog is empty or has no recognized release heading.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Release notes are placed appropriately around existing introductory sections and release history.

Correction (2026-10-16, warden, verified independently): the "same pattern/fix as node-domotz#49" line above is wrong and should not be read as implying domotz already has equivalent header-aware logic. node-domotz#49 is a smaller, earlier, config-only fix (.releaserc.json +1/-1, CHANGELOG.md +9/-0) — it has no scripts/prepare-release.mjs change at all. This PR (and the other 10 in this batch) carries real logic in scripts/prepare-release.mjs that #49 never needed, because domotz is the one repo in this fleet still running a real npx semantic-release direct-push pipeline where @semantic-release/changelog's own changelogTitle option genuinely works — the other 11 repos use a dryRun+PR-based flow where that config option is inert and the fix has to live in a custom script instead. Does not affect this PR's own correctness; see task_1791494181526_78986701 for the full writeup.

…rphaning

The @semantic-release/changelog plugin's changelogTitle option was
unset, so prepare.js never recognized the existing Keep-a-Changelog
header/preamble in CHANGELOG.md and kept prepending new release notes
above it, pushing the header further down the file on every release.

- .releaserc.json: set changelogTitle to "# Changelog" so future
  releases insert new entries below the header instead of above it.
- CHANGELOG.md: move the orphaned header block (title, preamble,
  Unreleased section) back to the top of the file, above the real
  version history.

Same fix pattern as WYRE-AI/node-domotz#49.

Walkthrough

The changelog configuration sets the title to # Changelog. The changelog starts with its introductory and unreleased content. Release preparation inserts notes around existing scaffold content and recognized release headings.

Changes: Changelog and release preparation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Changelog title and introductory content
.releaserc.json, CHANGELOG.md
The release configuration sets the changelog title. The changelog places its introductory and unreleased content at the beginning and removes the duplicate copy at the end.
Release note insertion and script execution
scripts/prepare-release.mjs, tests/unit/prepare-release.test.ts
The exported insertReleaseNotes(notes, existing) places notes based on existing content and recognized release headings. Release processing runs through main(), which runs only when the script is invoked directly. Tests cover empty changelogs, scaffold content, and release headings.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b3d02

The next release can leave the changelog out of order. Fix the release-heading matcher before merging.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — CHANGELOG.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — scripts (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — tests (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Added the changelog title, format and versioning references, and an [Unreleased]/Added section listing the initial release, supported resources and features, authentication, rate limiting, retries, error classes, and tests.
  • observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Removed the duplicate title, introductory text, and [Unreleased] feature list from the end of the changelog.
  • observed — Modified behavior in scripts/prepare-release.mjs: Added comments documenting the changelog scaffold handling in this flow and noting that dry-run skips semantic-release’s prepare lifecycle step.
  • observed — Modified behavior in scripts/prepare-release.mjs: Added the fileURLToPath import and exported insertReleaseNotes(notes, existing). The helper returns notes plus a newline for an empty changelog; otherwise, it recognizes headings matching ## [ followed by a digit or # followed by a numeric version. With no match it appends notes after the existing content; with a match at the start it prepends notes; with a match later it inserts notes between the preceding scaffold and the release entries. This replaces the previous unconditional prepend.

Explanation

The PR changes release configuration and runtime changelog insertion behavior, and fixes a user-visible changelog header-orphaning bug. The CHANGELOG.md diff only moves the existing title, preamble, and Unreleased scaffold to the top; it does not add or edit a release entry beneath ## [Unreleased].

Resolution

Add a corresponding entry under ## [Unreleased] in the Fixed section for the changelog header and release-note insertion fix.

…ease.mjs

The prior commit on this branch added changelogTitle to .releaserc.json,
but this repo's real release mechanism (prepare-release.mjs, invoked by
release.yml's PREPARE-mode step) calls semanticRelease({ dryRun: true }),
which skips semantic-release's own prepare lifecycle step entirely -- so
@semantic-release/changelog's changelogTitle-aware insert logic never runs
here. changelogTitle was inert; the header-position fix would have been
undone on the very next release through this pipeline.

insertReleaseNotes() now detects an existing title/preamble/Unreleased
scaffold (by finding the first real release heading -- "## [<digit>" or
a bare "# X.Y.Z " -- and treating anything before it as scaffold to
preserve above new notes) and inserts new release notes below that
scaffold instead of at column zero. Falls back to the original unqualified
prepend for any repo/state with no such scaffold, so this is a no-op for
every other case.

Verified against this exact file (not a parallel reimplementation): ran a
real test importing insertReleaseNotes from this script with
semantic-release actually installed, covering 6 cases (no-header-repo
parity with the original prepend, header+Unreleased, header-without-
Unreleased, header-only/no-releases-yet, brand-new-repo/no-existing-file,
and a repeated-release idempotence check) -- all pass. Also ran this exact
script directly (node scripts/prepare-release.mjs) against this branch to
confirm the refactor (wrapping main() behind an import.meta.url guard so
insertReleaseNotes is importable without triggering a real dry run) didn't
change the script's own real behavior.

Found via CodeRabbit's CHANGES_REQUESTED on the prior commit -- flagging a
real gap in the fleet-wide changelogTitle sweep's original diagnosis.

CodeRabbit catch on the previous commit: the direct-execution guard
compared import.meta.url (URL-encoded -- a space becomes %20, a #
becomes %23) against a naively file://-prefixed process.argv[1] (a raw
filesystem path, never encoded). A checkout path containing either
character would make the comparison silently false and never invoke
main() at all. Reproduced directly (a path with a space: encoded
comparison -> false, fileURLToPath-based comparison -> true) before
applying the fix, not just read-and-trusted. CI's own checkout path
doesn't contain either character today, so this was latent, not a live
failure -- fixing it anyway since the safe form costs nothing.
