changelog.d/ — changelog fragments

A PR never edits CHANGELOG.md directly during the cycle. Instead it adds ONE new file here — its changelog entry as a fragment. Two PRs never touch the same file, so changelog merge conflicts (the "CHANGELOG-eat" cascade that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge) are structurally impossible.

Convention

Directory	Aggregates under
`features/`	`### ✨ New Features`
`fixes/`	`### 🐛 Bug Fixes`
`maintenance/`	`### 📝 Maintenance`

Filename: <PR-number>-<short-slug>.md (e.g. fixes/6700-dockerfile-better-sqlite3.md). The PR number prefix keeps aggregation order deterministic.
Content: the exact bullet line(s) that should land in CHANGELOG.md, starting with - . Multi-line (continuation) bullets are fine. Keep the repo's credit format: (#PR — thanks @user).
One fragment per PR (rarely more, e.g. a PR that both fixes and adds).

Example

changelog.d/fixes/6496-cloudflare-relay-worker-syntax.md:

markdown

- **fix(providers):** Cloudflare relay Worker deploys use Service Worker syntax with `body_part` metadata ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)) — thanks @SeaXen

Aggregation

The release captain (or /generate-release) folds all fragments into CHANGELOG.md and deletes them:

bash

node scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs            # write + delete fragments
node scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs --dry-run  # preview only

Fragment well-formedness is enforced by npm run check:changelog-integrity (the same gate that guards against CHANGELOG-eat for legacy direct edits).
