Description

At the moment we don't have a releasing process so it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time setting up this tooling. Especially, when we have no established user base. However, at some point when we find ourselves sinking a ton of time into creating a CHANGELOG for each release we should consider implementing the above.

The GUIDELINES.md file should be updated with:

All changes to the core codebase (excluding tests, auxiliary scripts, etc.) must be documented in a changelog, except for purely cosmetic or documentation changes.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Open GUIDELINES.md and review its existing contribution and change-record guidance. Add the stated changelog convention for core code changes, preserving the listed exceptions; the work is done when the guideline is present and no automatic tooling is introduced prematurely.
