docs: name the obligations CI enforces, fix accuracy defects - #585
Conversation
CONTRIBUTING never mentioned pyright or the CHANGELOG, so its verify step sent contributors into a CI failure on the dedicated typecheck job. It now carries pyright, the [Unreleased] contract, PYTHONUTF8=1, the 3.11 floor, the real extras, and release.py's two-phase flow; the PR template gains a matching Changelog section. Accuracy: add `bmad-loop adapters` to the README table and note why `relay` stays out; link docs/README.md plus five unlisted guides; document [dev] and list all 15 policy sections in FEATURES; restate the roadmap's native-Windows status, which said 'planned' while its body said psmux had shipped; correct the leaf-module count to 28.

Both new entries are multi-sentence audit narratives spanning seven lines rather than terse, scannable, imperative release notes, so the actual change descriptions are buried in implementation history. Rewrite each as a short action-oriented bullet, moving rationale to the commit or PR description.

Adding this section makes the embedded “PR Description Template” in CONTRIBUTING.md stale: that block still ends after ## Testing (CONTRIBUTING.md:147-166). Contributors who copy the documented template will omit the new changelog declaration, so update the embedded example alongside the GitHub template.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Sync CONTRIBUTING's embedded PR-description template with the GitHub one. On main both listed the same four sections; this branch added a fifth to only .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, so the two documents taught contradictory section lists. Contributors using `gh pr create --body` never see the GitHub template, making the embedded block the only spec. Condense the second changelog entry and restore blank-line separation between entries. The entry was 5 sentences (top 9% of the Unreleased section) and carried a rationale for a non-change already stated in the README; it is now 3 sentences with every user-facing fact intact. This branch had also introduced 2 of the section's 4 run-on entries.

Both findings reviewed and validated against the repo's actual practice. Addressed in P2 — mirror the changelog section in the documented PR template: VALID, fixed. Confirmed and introduced by this branch. On P1 — condense the changelog additions: PARTIALLY VALID, addressed on the half that holds. Measured against the 151 entries in
One defect the review missed, also fixed. 147 of the section's 151 entries are blank-line separated. This branch had introduced 2 of the 4 exceptions — my two entries ran on from each other and into the Verification on Note for the record: the CodeRabbit check reports |

| **Every user-visible change needs a CHANGELOG entry.** Add it under the `## [Unreleased]` heading in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md), and only under one of the six [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) subsections — `Added`, `Changed`, `Deprecated`, `Removed`, `Fixed`, `Security`. Keep entries terse, scannable, and imperative. | ||

|

| Never open a new `## [X.Y.Z]` section yourself: a release _promotes_ `## [Unreleased]` into the version heading and reopens an empty one. `scripts/release.py check` enforces this contract in CI (the `version-sync` job). The full rule is in [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md#repo-hygiene). |

When cutting a release, this instruction can leave maintainers expecting prepare to create the version section, but scripts/release.py:383-429 instead refuses to run until a non-empty ## [X.Y.Z] — <ISO date> section already exists and a fresh empty ## [Unreleased] has been reopened above it. Explicitly instruct maintainers to rename/promote the existing section and reopen Unreleased before invoking prepare, rather than saying never to create the section themselves.

PR #584 added `## [0.1.0] — 2026-06-10` and, in the same hunk, a [0.1.0] link (there was none before) pointing at f0550a8 — dated 2026-06-14, the pip-to-uv docs commit whose work the [0.2.0] section claims. Point it at 274f0f5, the first commit, which is what the date names. Fold the two `### Docs` subsections into the `### Added` of their own version: neither is a Keep a Changelog type, and both hold a single newly-written guide. 0.5.1's entry is moved up rather than left in place, since deleting its heading would have filed a new doc under Changed. Entry-preserving: 376 before, 376 after, no headline dropped or added.

Keep new entries under ## [Unreleased].
The new Uninstall procedure entry is under ## [0.5.1] at Line 2707. The repository rule requires every entry to land under ## [Unreleased] and one allowed subsection. Move this entry to Unreleased, or document an explicit exception for historical backfills.
As per coding guidelines, every CHANGELOG entry must land under ## [Unreleased] and one of the six Keep a Changelog subsections.

trunk-io/trunk-action@v1 default command trunk check --all
💡 Result:
The trunk-io/trunk-action@v1 does not have a static default command that equates to trunk check --all; instead, the action dynamically chooses its execution behavior based on the event context [1][2]. By default, trunk-io/trunk-action operates on changed files only: when triggered by a pull request, it checks all files changed in the PR, and when triggered by a push, it checks all files changed in that push [2]. To run a check on all files in the repository, you must explicitly configure the action by setting the check-mode input to all [3][2]: - name: Trunk Code Quality uses: trunk-io/trunk-action@v1 with: check-mode: all Additionally, the action automatically infers check-mode: all if the job is running as part of a scheduled or periodic workflow [2]. If you provide a trunk-token, the action also infers check-mode: all and will upload the results to the Trunk platform [2]. It is important to note that using check-mode: all or running "check all" in older configurations is often discouraged in favor of focused, incremental linting to maintain CI performance [4][2].

Trunk CLI "trunk check" default changed files all files documentation
💡 Result:
By default, the Trunk CLI runs the trunk check command in "hold-the-line" mode [1][2]. This means that when you execute trunk check without additional flags, it will only process and report issues on the files you have modified according to Git, by comparing your current work against the appropriate upstream branch [1][2]. If you wish to override this behavior and run checks on all files in your repository, you can use the --all flag [3][4]: trunk check --all This is particularly useful for identifying pre-existing issues throughout the entire project [2][5]. Additionally, you can customize the default behavior for your repository by configuring default command-line arguments in your trunk.yaml file [6]. Under the cli.options section, you can define default arguments that will be applied automatically whenever you run trunk check [6]. For example: cli: options: - commands: [check] args: --all Any command-line options provided manually during invocation will take precedence over these configured defaults [6].

Correct the trunk check comment.
trunk check and CI’s trunk-action both use changed-file mode by default. Replace no path filter (what CI runs) with checks changed files, as CI does.

For changes affecting packaging, versions, or the changelog, contributors can follow this checklist successfully and still fail CI: .github/workflows/ci.yml:99-100 additionally runs scripts/release.py check, while lines 149-177 build and smoke-test the distributions. Add those checks, or qualify this as only the three general source checks, rather than presenting it as the complete verification path.

Fold in the round-3 review fixes that missed PR #585's merge. trunk check: AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md both said "full lint, no path filter". Measured on this repo, bare `trunk check` lints 7 of 254 files (changed-vs-upstream) while --all lints 254; ci.yml's trunk-action defaults to changed-files too, and its own checkout comment says so (fetch-depth: 0 "for diff-aware checks"). Both files now name the real scope and point at --all for a whole-repo run. CONTRIBUTING also claimed `release.py check` enforces the no-hand-authored- version-section rule. It does not: injecting a populated '## [0.9.1]' above a preserved '## [Unreleased]' returns rc=0. Scoped the claim to what check actually holds, per AGENTS.md's own wording. prepare: nothing told a maintainer the promote-and-reopen is a manual pre-step; release.py:382-435 only refuses until it is already done. Verify step named 3 of 6 CI jobs as if complete — qualified with a pointer to docs/testing.md rather than enumerating jobs (Windows and the 3.11-3.14 matrix are not locally reproducible anyway).

What
Adds the contributor obligations CI actually enforces but the docs never stated, and fixes a set of accuracy defects found in an audit.
Why
A contributor following CONTRIBUTING's verify step — "
