Changes in file generate_changelog.sh: * added some caching while re-generationg * now generates new changelog from scratch if given no options * now extracts impacted issues and kinds of changes as well as per-file changes * improved initial formatting a bit
Changes in file generate_changelog.sh: * improved comments * imporved details table * added optional verbose mode * added link to full changelog view on github
Additions with file .github/workflows/CI-CHGLOG.yml: * Initial implementation of new CHANGELOG generating action in CI/CD Changes in file docs/CI.md: * updated CI/CD documentation to mention new GHA CI-CHGLOG * updated 'How on-workflow_run triggers propagate' section with CI-CHGLOG * updated Key integrations section with CI-CHGLOG * updated Triggering CI/CD with CI-CHGLOG
WalkthroughA new GitHub Actions workflow for automated changelog generation was introduced, integrating into the CI pipeline. The supporting documentation was updated to describe this workflow and its artifacts. The changelog generation script was extensively refactored for robustness, modularity, and richer output, including new functions, safety checks, and enhanced markdown formatting. Changes

settings improve isolation and reproducibility.
105-114
: Preserve commented-out vars for future use
Commenting outLOG_FILE
,ERR_FILE
, andLOCK_FILE
withshellcheck disable
is a pragmatic way to keep them available for later logging/locking logic.
123-135
: Robustid_current_tag
input validation
The regex check and fallback maintain safety without losing the empty-input behavior. Good balance of security and correctness.
142-146
:run_enumerate_tag_history
caching is effective
Tag-history extraction and caching work as intended, and retainingwait
aligns with your architectural markers.
154-163
: Efficient tag cache reuse
enumerate_tag_history
avoids repeated expensivegit rev-list
calls. Caching into${CHGLOG_GIT_LOG_CACHE_FILE}
is well handled.
172-190
: Safe parent-tag resolution
id_parent_tag
input sanitization and lookup correctly find the preceding tag. This preserves backward compatibility.
199-235
: Modularize AWK grouping
The newformat_changes_by_flag
function cleanly encapsulates the AWK logic with input validation.
243-257
: Main no-arg loop is self-contained
Recursing over all tags and exiting cleanly ensures the changelog is built in order.
261-262
: Directgit log
redirection
Usinggit log … > file
instead ofcat
is efficient; retainingwait
as a sync marker is acceptable.

The per-file AWK grouping block is correct. While it’s complex, it’s encapsulated within its function and behaves as expected. No changes required.

File: generate_changelog.sh:243-257
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T05:01:35.254Z
Learning: The user reactive-firewall prefers to implement code changes manually rather than using automated code change features, following their organization's AI Usage Policy which requires human oversight and control over code modifications.

File: .github/workflows/CI-CHGLOG.yml:27-32
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T04:03:50.295Z
Learning: GitHub workflow job naming convention for reactive-firewall/multicast project: Use underscore separators (snake_case). Preflight/check jobs should be lowercase and named after what they check (e.g., check_build). Main jobs and supporting jobs should be uppercase (e.g., CHGLOG, CHGLOG_SUMMARY, CHGLOG_REPORT). Avoid dashes in job IDs and reserve spaces for name fields only.

PR: #433
File: generate_changelog.sh:243-257
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T04:22:38.594Z
Learning: In generate_changelog.sh, the script uses "${0}"
for recursive calls, which works in trivial cases but can fail when the script is symlinked or when PATH environment changes during execution. The alternative ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}
provides more robust recursive invocation but is Bash-specific rather than POSIX portable.

PR: #433
File: generate_changelog.sh:63-69
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T03:50:19.146Z
Learning: The reactive-firewall user intentionally uses restrictive umask values like 137 for security hardening in shell scripts, following the least privilege principle. This creates file permissions of 640 (owner read/write, group read, others none) and is a deliberate security control, not an oversight.

PR: #433
File: generate_changelog.sh:200-235
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T04:17:49.820Z
Learning: In the multicast project, complex AWK scripts should remain inline within shell functions when they are well-commented and serve a specific purpose, rather than being extracted to separate files. The user prefers to keep such logic embedded unless there's a clear reusability or readability benefit that justifies the separation. Future refactoring should be considered only when there's a demonstrated use-case for extraction.

PR: #433
File: generate_changelog.sh:243-257
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T04:54:10.750Z
Learning: The user reactive-firewall decided to switch from "${0}"
to "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
for recursive script calls in generate_changelog.sh, prioritizing security and robustness over POSIX portability since the script already uses Bash-specific features.

63-69
: Strict environment controls for robustness
Settingulimit
, a controlledPATH
, enforced locale, and a restrictiveumask
helps ensure consistent, secure script execution across different environments.
80-85
: Pre-flight command checks improve reliability
Thecheck_command
function correctly validates the presence and executability of required binaries, failing fast on missing dependencies.
122-134
: Validate git reference input before describing tag
Introducing a regex-based guard before invokinggit describe
prevents malformed or malicious ref inputs, while falling back gracefully when input is empty or invalid.
140-145
: Accurate tag history enumeration
Usinggit rev-list
piped intogit tag --points-at
correctly identifies ancestor tags. The retainedwait
statements serve as intentional synchronization points for future parallel logic.
170-189
: Sanitize and validate parent tag input
Theid_parent_tag
function’s combination of input validation, sanitization, and filtered history lookup is solid defensive programming.
199-234
: Isolate AWK formatting logic effectively
Embedding the AWK script withinformat_changes_by_flag
provides a clear single-responsibility function for grouping entries by flag, enhancing modularity and readability.
249-250
: Robust recursive invocation
Switching from${0}
to${BASH_SOURCE[0]}
for recursive calls ensures reliable script invocation regardless of symlink or PATH variations.
261-262
: Efficient git log caching
Directly redirectinggit log
into the changelog buffer file is concise and avoids unnecessary subshells or process substitutions.

Patch Notes
This patch implements a new feature to automatically generating a CHANGELOG.md file.
Warning
Breaking change for contributors: The generate_changelog.sh script relies on specific commit message formatting conventions. Deviations from these conventions could lead to inaccurate or incomplete CHANGELOGs.
