Summary

Rewrites the [Unreleased] changelog section from the user's and operator's side. Each entry now says what changed for you and what, if anything, you need to do. Implementation detail is left to the linked docs and PRs.

  • New Upgrading section. It collects the actions that were scattered through individual entries:
    • rollout order around readiness-gated workers and v050;
    • v049 lane provisioning and grants;
    • preparing for the migration trust check;
    • external migration runners (pending bundles, ON_ERROR_STOP, the V1 checksum, the v045 cron_jobs lock);
    • the sqlx 0.9 audited_sql change;
    • running rebuild-terminal-counters from an upgraded binary.
  • New Security section. It holds the migration trust check and the --help secret fix, which was previously folded into the ring-authority flip entry.
  • New Project section. It holds CI and test-suite changes, condensed.
  • Merged entries. The v048 cursor catch-up and the standby cursor-replay fix are now one entry. So are the vacuumed-partition reclaim and BRIN block-size fixes.
  • Size. The section drops from about 34 KB to about 16 KB. Every previous entry is still represented.

No code changes.

Review notes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the Unreleased changelog for the 0.7 release.
    • Added upgrade guidance for migrations v044–v050, rollout ordering, runtime privileges, external migration runners, sqlx 0.9 usage, and terminal-counter rebuilding.
    • Reorganized notes covering scheduling, transitions, telemetry, retries, migration tooling, asynchronous claims, dispatching, batching, storage indexing, and ring maintenance.
    • Added security and project guidance, including schema-injection checks and credential-redacting help output.

Groups the upgrade actions that were scattered through individual entries into an Upgrading section, states each entry by its effect and any action it needs, moves security fixes and CI/test changes into their own sections, and leaves implementation detail to the linked docs and PRs.

This release adds migrations v044 to v050. Run `awa migrate` as the migrator
role; the [0.6→0.7 upgrade guide](docs/upgrade-0.6-to-0.7.md) has the details
for each step.

State the patch prerequisite in the changelog.

The Upgrading section tells operators to run awa migrate and refers to the upgrade guide for ordering, but it does not publish the required patch prerequisite in CHANGELOG.md. Add the prerequisite and its order before migration. Keep the same requirement in the upgrade guide.

As per coding guidelines: “Publish the patch prerequisite before the migration and document it in the CHANGELOG and upgrade guide.”

Also applies to: 25-28
