SPEC: Changelog and Release Notes Process

Overview

There's no changelog or release note process. Completed tasks produce a VERDICT.md but there's no aggregate record of what changed. This makes it hard to generate release notes or see the project's history at a glance.

Changes

1. CHANGELOG.md at ~/.automaton/

Root-level changelog file with entries appended on task completion:

# Changelog

## [unreleased]

### Added
- description (#task-name)

### Fixed
- description (#task-name)

2. Update .rules.md

Add a rule: "When a task reaches Resolution (VERDICT.md written), append an entry to CHANGELOG.md."

Acceptance Criteria

  • ~/.automaton/CHANGELOG.md exists with [unreleased] header
  • .rules.md mentions changelog updates as part of task completion
  • Format is clean enough to use as release notes source
