fix(release): add changelogTitle config to prevent changelog header orphaning - #103
Conversation
…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.

- Line 10: Update the PREPARE writer in prepare-release.mjs to preserve the
configured changelogTitle as the first line and insert new release notes after
the title and any preamble, rather than prepending them before the existing
changelog. Alternatively, use the changelog plugin’s prepare hook in the PREPARE
path.

…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.

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 noscripts/prepare-release.mjschange at all. This PR (and the other 10 in this batch) carries real logic inscripts/prepare-release.mjsthat #49 never needed, because domotz is the one repo in this fleet still running a realnpx semantic-releasedirect-push pipeline where@semantic-release/changelog's ownchangelogTitleoption genuinely works — the other 11 repos use adryRun+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.
