The changelog was never intended to be modified on every PR, which introduces user-facing behaviour. That just makes git unhappy.

πŸ“ Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes unreleased changelog entry guidance for notifier changes and replaces existing unreleased entries with a pull request description policy.

Changes

Changelog guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update changelog contribution policy
AGENTS.md, CHANGELOG.md
AGENTS.md no longer instructs contributors to add notifier changes to the unreleased changelog. CHANGELOG.md replaces three unreleased entries with a note directing contributors to describe changes in pull request descriptions.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: πŸ”΅ Low Β· up to 93537

The PR changes changelog contributor guidance, but the new wording may cause user-facing release information to bypass the required structured release-note field. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small documentation follow-up.
