docs(agents): stop telling authors to hand-edit generated CHANGELOG.md

[os-litant]

Fixes #14792

Post-task checklist item 6 in AGENTS.md told the author to hand-edit CHANGELOG.md. That file is generated output. This drops the CHANGELOG.md half of the line and keeps ROADMAP.md.

Before / after

AGENTS.md:1154

Before:

6. Update `CHANGELOG.md` / `ROADMAP.md` if user-facing or architectural.

After:

6. Update `ROADMAP.md` if user-facing or architectural.

Why

The same file says the opposite about CHANGELOG.md thirty-four lines above. At AGENTS.md:1120, inside checklist item 3, the changeset rule states that the changeset body "ships to consumers as CHANGELOG.md inside the npm package and is what an upgrading agent greps after the tombstone error". That makes CHANGELOG.md the output — written by the changesets release step from the .changeset/*.md entries item 3 already requires.

Item 6 treated the same file as an input. A contributor who obeyed it either hand-edited a generated artifact that the next Version Packages run overwrites or collides with, or read the two lines together and concluded the file contradicts itself on its most-traversed workflow. Nothing is lost by the trim: the changeset obligation is item 3, and it is unchanged here.

Neither reading of the name survives, which is what makes the trim safe rather than a judgement call. Item 6 could have meant the per-package CHANGELOG.md files or the repo-root one, so both were checked:

• The per-package files are generated. packages/core/CHANGELOG.md and its siblings carry changeset-emitted release sections keyed by commit hash.
• The root CHANGELOG.md disclaims hand-editing in its own header: the update history "is maintained in three layers rather than by hand-editing this file" — per-package detail "generated by [changesets] from the .changeset/ entries every PR adds", the curated per-major pages under content/docs/releases/, and this file "retained for its historical entries."

So there is no CHANGELOG.md in this repo that item 6 could have legitimately directed a PR author to update by hand.

ROADMAP.md is untouched and not in question, and the surviving half is not vacuous: the file exists at the repo root and its history shows real hand edits. This PR makes no claim about whether that obligation should stand.

Arithmetic

AGENTS.md is at its line-ratchet ceiling, so the edit adds no line and re-wraps nothing.

Measure	Before	After
Lines (wc -l)	1,162	1,162
Ratchet ceiling / headroom	1,162 / 0	1,162 / 0
Bytes (wc -c)	85,106	85,089 (-17)
The edited line	72 bytes	55 bytes (-17)
Widest table row	1,081 (pin 1,081)	1,081 (pin 1,081)
grep -c 'CHANGELOG.md' AGENTS.md	2 (:1120, :1154)	1 (:1120 only)

Byte-negative on one line, so nothing is paid same-file. git diff --stat is 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-).

Scope held

Untouched, deliberately: the ROADMAP.md half of item 6, checklist item 3, and the changeset section at :1116-1122 — that region is being corrected by PR #14789, and a second PR editing it would be a merge conflict on a governed file for no gain. The hunk here at :1154 is disjoint from that one.

One argument recorded for the merging maintainer rather than acted on: a reading exists under which item 6 should be deleted outright rather than trimmed, on the grounds that ROADMAP.md updates are not obviously a per-PR obligation either. That is a scope decision, not this card's, so the line is trimmed as ruled and the argument is left here.

Gates

All run at head 9596a42386, exit codes captured by redirect before any pipe; each verdict below is the gate's own printed line.

Command	Exit	Verdict
pnpm check:pm-skill-ratchet	0	AGENTS.md is 1162 lines (ceiling 1162; headroom 0). · AGENTS.md: widest table row is 1081 bytes (pin 1081; headroom 0). · self-test 111 cases pass
pnpm check:pm-governed-prose	0	2 instruction surface(s) name all 5 registered governed surfaces (docs/adr/** · .claude/** · skills/** · AGENTS.md · CLAUDE.md) and claim no others.
pnpm check:pm-skill-id-lint	0	23 file(s) clean (pattern /#[0-9]{3,}/g).
pnpm check:nul-bytes	0	OK (scanned 8064 text file(s) -- 8064 tracked, 0 untracked-not-ignored; skipped 7 binary; no raw ASCII control bytes).
pnpm check:corpus-claim-drift	0	OK, no new claim sites beside a pinned spelling.
pnpm check:required-contexts	0	6 required context name(s) pinned across 2 workflow(s); 5 instruction surface(s) scanned against 2 retired name(s).
node scripts/check-required-contexts.mjs	0	same sweep, direct invocation
pnpm check:agent-test-spelling	0	violating population empty, 9 separators judged and cleared on the rule
pnpm check:docs-audit-scope	0	docs-accuracy-audit scope is in sync with content/docs/: 190 hand-written doc(s)
pnpm check:pm-governed-merges	0	self-test 243 assertions; live: the real generator declared 9 output(s) and certified this tree

The family list was re-derived after the last edit, not taken from the dispatch:
node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands resolved its --repo assertion against this checkout's origin, derived the change set from git as 1 path (AGENTS.md, committed 1 / working tree 0 / untracked 0, three-dot against merge base fc648a256) and emitted 8 commands. All 8 ran; the two dispatch-named gates outside that union (check:nul-bytes, check:corpus-claim-drift) ran as well, so the set above is a superset.

ESLint

Not run repo-wide; narrowed, and the narrowing is a measurement rather than a skip:

1. Population, read from eslint.config.mjs and not guessed. Every files: selector in the config is a JS/TS extension glob (**/*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts,js,jsx,mjs,cjs} and narrower variants; COMMENT_SWALLOW_FILES at :785 is that same glob). grep -cin 'markdown|[.]md' eslint.config.mjs returns 0 — no markdown processor, no .md selector anywhere. Confirmed through ESLint's own API: isPathIgnored('AGENTS.md') is true and calculateConfigForFile('AGENTS.md') yields no rules, against a positive control (eslint.config.mjs itself resolves 2 rules), so the API call is not vacuously quiet.
2. Count, from --format json. pnpm exec eslint AGENTS.md --no-inline-config --format json gives errorCount: 0, warningCount: 1, the one warning being ruleId: null / File ignored because no matching configuration was supplied — zero rule results, because the file is outside the population.
3. Invariance over untouched files. The config never enables type-aware linting for any file — no parserOptions.project, no typed rules, stated at eslint.config.mjs:325-332 with its own measured positive control. With no cross-file type program there is no mechanism by which an edit in one file moves a verdict on a file it does not touch, and this diff is one Markdown line in a file ESLint does not lint at all.

A full pnpm lint therefore measures the same nothing this narrowing measured.

Changeset

Labelled skip-changeset, route 2 of scripts/check-empty-changeset.mjs's own enumeration: "It releases nothing (.github/, .claude/, skills/, docs/, content/, examples/, tests-only, and the like) -- delete the changeset and apply the 'skip-changeset' label". This diff is one line of the repo-root instruction file; no packages/** source is touched and nothing publishes from any package. Per that script, the label is a gate-level exemption that produces no input for changesets/action — the shape an empty-frontmatter changeset would have broken.

Landing

Draft, and it stays draft — governed AGENTS.md, human merge is the review record. Not flipped ready, not queued, no auto-merge armed, no reviewers requested.
