Fix release changelog coverage across previews and direct commits - #1740

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe release workflow now invokes Release changelog pipeline
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Release changelog generation still lacks coverage for rejecting non-ancestral prerelease baselines, and serial GitHub lookups without retries can abort a release during transient API failures. Merge should wait for the targeted regression coverage and explicit owner acceptance or remediation of the lookup reliability risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@scripts/build-release-changelog.ts`:
- Around line 317-321: Update the PR coverage check in the changelog validation
flow to match the mapped number only as a complete PR reference, not as a prefix
of a longer number; preserve valid matches while ensuring `#155` does not match
`#1553`. Add a focused regression test beside the existing coverage tests in
build-release-changelog.test.ts with `#155` absent and `#1553` rendered, asserting
result.errors is non-empty.
- Around line 557-569: Refactor the per-commit pull-request lookup in the
rawCommits processing loop to run with a small bounded concurrency limit instead
of serially, while preserving commit order in the resulting commits array. Add
exponential-backoff retries for retryable ghJson failures, including transient
server errors and secondary rate limits, without treating not-found responses as
successful lookups or changing the existing metadata and generated-PR fast
paths.
- Around line 571-572: Update the npmMetadata construction to use the package
name loaded from package.json, reusing the existing package-name value from the
release configuration instead of the hardcoded `@bitkyc08/opencodex` identifier.
Preserve the current version and distTag interpolation.
- Around line 116-124: Update selectReleaseBaseline and the ancestry check to
classify prereleases using parsed SemVer data rather than only matching
“-preview.” tags. Add a shared isPrereleaseVersion helper using parseReleaseTag,
making parseReleaseTag importable if needed, and use it at both existing
preview-filter locations while preserving preview-target behavior. Add
regression coverage for rc and beta tags in the build changelog tests.
In `@tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-9: Export parseGitLog and parseAssociatedPulls from the
changelog script, then add focused tests covering multiline commit bodies,
trailing record separators, and records missing a SHA or subject for
parseGitLog. Test parseAssociatedPulls with merged_at present or absent, a null
user to verify the "unknown" author fallback, and labels whose names are not
strings to verify they are handled safely.
- Around line 36-60: Add a focused test in the selectReleaseBaseline suite
covering an empty candidate-tag list, asserting that selectReleaseBaseline
returns null for a first release. Keep the existing preview and stable baseline
tests unchanged.
In `@tests/ci-workflows.test.ts`:
- Around line 725-726: Remove the formatting-specific assertions for the literal
'"git",' and '"log",' substrings from the release notes builder source test,
while preserving the surrounding behavior-level assertions. Do not add
replacement source-format checks; any Git-history behavior coverage belongs in
build-release-changelog.test.ts against builder output.

Approved after revalidating the current head against the latest dev.
The earlier correctness blockers are fixed: PR references use a digit boundary, all SemVer prereleases are excluded from stable baselines, parser behavior is covered, and package metadata comes from package.json. The release workflow now builds and validates notes before publishing/tagging, so lookup or coverage failures remain fail-closed.
Verification:
- clean merge simulation onto current
dev bun test tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts tests/ci-workflows.test.ts(152 passed)bun run typecheckbun run privacy:scan- exact-head GitHub CI is green
- live read-only dry run against the repository's real tags and current
dev: baselinev2.19.0, 155 commits covered, 0 ignored, non-empty validated notes generated successfully
The remaining retry/concurrency suggestion is a useful follow-up for availability, but not a correctness blocker: the current serial path completed in under a minute for 155 commits and any API failure occurs before publish/tag mutation.

1. Non-ancestral baseline accepted for prereleases.
The ancestry guard ran only for stable versions, so a preview could select
the newest tag from a diverged lineage. Reproduced on the preview branch:
selected=v2.21.0 ancestor=no
commits emitted by selected..target = 5
commits since the newest ancestral release v2.19.0 = 192
The CLI still exited successfully reporting "commits=0". A preview therefore
shipped notes drawn from an unrelated branch while omitting its own history.
Ancestry is now required for both channels and fails closed.
2. --no-merges made the "every commit is represented" invariant false.
A merge whose tree carries a conflict-resolution-only change contributes
content that exists in no other commit. Demonstrated on a scratch repo:
full range: merge: resolve release behavior / main2 / side change
--no-merges: main2 / side change <- merge content invisible
--first-parent: merge: resolve release behavior / main2
Switched to --first-parent, which represents the merge as exactly one entry
without re-listing every commit it brought in.
3. Direct-commit subjects were rendered as unsanitized release Markdown.
scripts/release-notes.ts already neutralizes Markdown metacharacters and
@mentions; the new builder bypassed it in both render paths, so a subject
could inject images/links and rewrite the release's Contributors list.
sanitizeCommitText now wraps both.
Regressions added for the mention/media escape and the prerelease baseline
selection. 22 pass; without the source change 1 fails.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Test the prerelease ancestry rejection path.
Lines 367 and 371 only test selectReleaseBaseline. That function receives tags, not a commit graph. This test does not execute the git merge-base --is-ancestor failure branch in scripts/build-release-changelog.ts lines 543-550.
The test remains green if the prerelease ancestry guard is removed. Extract the guard behind a testable command dependency, or add an integration test that returns a nonzero ancestry result. Assert that a prerelease build rejects before it generates notes or writes the output file.
As per path instructions, tests/** requires a focused regression test for changed source behavior. The PR objective explicitly requires non-ancestral baseline regression coverage.

What changed
skip-changelogas an explicit ignore, but fail if a non-empty release range would still produce no visible changelog entries.npm publish; the validated notes file is then reused when creating the GitHub Release.Root cause
The release workflow assumed that GitHub
generate-notescovered the release changes and only carried preview notes whose tag matched the exact stable SemVer core. That misses direct commits, cherry-picks/hand-ports, and previews such asv2.17.1-preview.*when the eventual stable isv2.18.2.Release semantics after this PR
Stable is always complete since the prior stable. Preview is always incremental since the prior release.
