Steps
- 1Categorize: Added / Changed / Fixed / Breaking / Security only
- 2Phrase entries as user outcomes, not commit messages
- 3Breaking changes lead with migration snippet and deadline
- 4Link each entry to PR/docs for depth-seekers
- 5Keep voice consistent; assign one editor per release
- 6Never ship silent dependency bumps past Security category
Common Pitfalls
- ▲'Misc fixes and improvements' filler sections
- ▲Breaking changes discovered at runtime
