build: make rake changelog non-destructive; adopt conventional commits - #1745
Conversation
The previously merged `rake changelog` ran `git cliff -o CHANGELOG.md`, which regenerates the whole file from history — on activegraph's non-conventional history that skips ~4852 commits and replaces the 273-section hand-written changelog with ~7 sparse ones. Rework it to generate only the [Unreleased] section (git cliff --unreleased --strip all) and insert it under the preamble, preserving the curated history, and abort when there are no conventional commits yet. Add CLAUDE.md documenting Conventional Commits for future commits and PR titles (feat/fix/perf feed the changelog via cliff.toml).

Pull request overview
Updates the project’s changelog workflow to avoid destructive regeneration of CHANGELOG.md now that the repository is transitioning to Conventional Commits, while documenting the new expectations for future PR titles/commit messages.
Changes:
- Make
rake changeloggenerate only the[Unreleased](or release-tagged) section viagit-cliff --unreleased --strip all, then insert it under the changelog preamble. - Abort without modifying
CHANGELOG.mdwhen git-cliff produces no conventional-commit entries. - Add
CLAUDE.mddocumenting Conventional Commits and the non-destructive changelog workflow.

the stale [Unreleased] block when it is followed by another section or reaches
end of file, while preserving insertion of the fresh section under the preamble.
- Around line 67-73: Update the git-cliff execution in the changelog generation
flow to capture the process status immediately after IO.popen returns, before
further commands can overwrite it, and abort unless status.success?; only
