The update dialog (server and desktop) now reads changelog/index.json and renders title, intro and groups; the release workflow builds the GitHub Release body and name from changelog/<version>.md; oc-dev, the issue-intake agent, AGENTS.md and the changelog skill no longer point at the file. CHANGELOG.md stays as a legacy copy for installs up to 1.22.1, which fetch it for update notes. The generator refreshes it while it exists and never recreates it, so deleting it after 2026-09-19 retires it for good. Generated outputs hold released versions only, so editing unreleased.md never makes them stale: agents write that file and nothing else, and oc-dev create-release does the generation.

# Release notes source
|
|
|
|
One file per release, plus `unreleased.md` for what has not shipped. At release time `oc-dev create-release` turns `unreleased.md` into `<version>.md` with today's date and renders `packages/vscode/CHANGELOG.md` (extension, shown by the Marketplace as is) and `index.json` (website and the app's update dialog) from the released files. Edit the files here; the generated ones are overwritten and hold released versions only, so editing `unreleased.md` never leaves them stale.

## App
|
|
|
|
### New
|
|
- Something the user could not do before.
|
|
|
|
### Improvements
|
|
- Something they could do works better now.
|
|
|
|
### Fixes
|
|
- Something was broken; name the symptom.
|
|
|
|
### Misc
|
|
- Bundled tool versions, packaging, platform support, retirements.
|
|
|
|
## VS Code
|
|
|
|
### Fixes
|
|
- Only what the extension actually mounts. Written separately, on purpose.

Groups may appear in any order in a source file; the generator emits them as New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc and drops empty ones. A release without a `## VS Code` section is absent from the extension changelog. Every release needs a `title`; `unreleased.md` carries only the `title` line in its front matter and gets `version` and `date` at release time.
|
|
|
|
`bun run changelog:check` validates every source file and fails when a generated file is behind the released sources; CI runs it. It writes nothing.
|
|
|
|
`CHANGELOG.md` at the repo root is legacy: app versions up to 1.22.1 fetch it from `main` for their update notes. It is refreshed while it exists and never recreated; delete it after 2026-09-19 and it is gone for good.
