docs/changelog.md
Configuration:
// Add/remove changelog sources
const CHANGELOG_SOURCES = [
{ path: './CHANGELOG.md', label: 'Smart Contract' }
];

'smart-contract': 'Smart Contract',
'frontend': 'Frontend',
'sdk': 'SDK',
'backend': 'Backend',
'cli': 'CLI',
'indexer': 'Indexer',
'notifications': 'Notifications'
};Execution:
node .local/repo-ops/aggregate-changelogs.js
# Exit code 0: Success
# Exit code 1: Error (file not found, parse error, etc.)Triggers:
- Push to version tags:
v*.*.*(e.g.,v1.0.1) - Push to branches:
main,docs/changelog-page - Manual dispatch: GitHub UI or
gh workflow runCLI
Auto-Commit Message:
