From 73b44202baa65417145de4ac1880fe177d7dbde6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Wizemann Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:17:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: release script preflight allows pre-written RELEASE_NOTES.md MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CLAUDE.md's release-notes convention says "write them to releases/v/RELEASE_NOTES.md BEFORE running the script" — but the script's git-clean preflight rejected any working-tree state including that exact file as untracked. Chicken-and-egg: you couldn't follow the documented flow. Preflight now whitelists releases/v/RELEASE_NOTES.md as the one allowed untracked path. Everything else still fails the check. Caught while running v1.6.2.
