The exact-name changelog patterns added in #235 stopped matching CHANGELOG.markdown and versioned files such as CHANGELOG-1.x.md, both of which v0.15.0 reported.

This adds .markdown for changelog, changes, history, news and change, and changelog-* with each prose extension. Source files such as history.go and changelog-parser.go stay excluded, and CHANGELOG.md still wins over a versioned file beside it.

Closes #246

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Changelog discovery now recognizes additional .markdown files and versioned changelog names, including files with .md, .txt, .rst, and .adoc extensions.
    • When both versioned and unversioned changelog files are present, the unversioned file is preferred. Source-code files are not identified as changelogs.

The exact-name changelog patterns dropped CHANGELOG.markdown and CHANGELOG-1.x.md, which the earlier wildcards matched.

Walkthrough

The changelog resource patterns now include .markdown and versioned changelog names. Tests cover these patterns, the preference for CHANGELOG.md, and exclusion of source-code filenames.

Changelog patterns and detection tests
knowledge/_shared/_resources.toml, cmd/brief/resources_test.go
The patterns add .markdown variants and versioned changelog-* names. Tests check those names, precedence for CHANGELOG.md, and exclusion of source-code filenames.

Explanation

#246 requests .markdown variants for the five named changelog patterns, versioned changelog-* patterns for prose extensions, and tests for the restored names while excluding source files. _resources.toml adds those patterns. resources_test.go covers CHANGELOG.markdown, versioned .md and .rst names, unversioned-file precedence, and source-file exclusions.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
