📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a check-run reporter and a pull-request workflow for changelog validation. The workflow compares validation failures with the base branch and publishes check runs, comments, status checks, and audit records. ChangesChangelog Validation and Reporting

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new changelog validation workflow cannot install its dependencies, so it fails on every changelog pull request before any validation runs. After that is fixed, check-run annotations would still be rejected whenever violations exist, and new changelog failures or validator crashes would still pass.

- Remove redundant `any_changed` condition from skip-check steps - Ensures check run is created even when workflow triggers on .github/validation/changelog/** changes without CHANGELOG.md changes - Fixes case where neither check-run nor skip-check steps execute, leaving GitHub status undefined Fixes the persistent 'Validate changelog on PR' check failure by ensuring ALWAYS explicit check run status, never conditional skipping.

The changelog entry for GitHub Check Run support was exceeding the 250-character validation limit. Refactored to user-focused summary without implementation details, keeping only the essential user benefit and PR reference.

- Around line 73-108: In the changelog validation workflow, validate that
validation-report.json is non-empty and contains a usable summary object before
parsing it, so a validator crash cannot be treated as a pass. In the error
branch, set new_failed to indicate failure and use a distinct report_created
value for errors so downstream check-run logic does not treat the case as “no
changelog changes.”
- Around line 18-19: Set a finite timeout-minutes value on the

- Around line 377-387: Remove continue-on-error from the “Set status check” step

in the workflow’s Report validation via GitHub Check Run step; provide it
through the step’s env as GITHUB_TOKEN. Update the reporter’s github-token
option to default to process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN instead of requiring the token as

Add the reporter dependencies and commit the local lockfile.
The workflow runs npm ci from .github/validation/changelog, but that package has no lockfile. The root package is not a workspace, and the workflow does not install root dependencies. A fresh runner therefore fails at npm ci before bin/report-check-run.js starts.
Declare the imported packages locally and commit the generated lockfile:

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Align the check run conclusion with the workflow's "new failures only" gate.
determineConclusion returns failure when the total summary.failed is greater than 0. The workflow, at .github/workflows/changelog-validation.yml Lines 110-139, gates only on new_failed and states that pre-existing Unreleased failures do not block the PR. For a PR on a base branch with legacy failures, the "Changelog Validation" check run shows failure while the PR comment shows "Validation PASSED". If this check run becomes required, legacy debt blocks every changelog PR. Pass new_failed and base_failed into the reporter and base the conclusion on new_failed. Report the base failures in the summary.
♻️ Sketch
determineConclusion(validationResult) {
if (!validationResult || !validationResult.summary) {
return 'neutral';
}
- const { failed, warnings } = validationResult.summary;
+ const { failed, warnings, new_failed } = validationResult.summary;
+ const blocking = Number.isInteger(new_failed) ? new_failed : failed;
- if (failed > 0) {
+ if (blocking > 0) {
return 'failure';
}In the workflow, inject new_failed into the report before the reporter runs. For example: jq --argjson n "$NEW_FAILED" '.summary.new_failed=$n'.

Add the required end_line to each annotation.
The GitHub Checks API requires end_line on every annotation object. buildAnnotations sets only start_line. If a report contains at least one violation, checks.create returns 422 Unprocessable Entity and no check run is created. The workflow step has continue-on-error: true, so this failure is not visible. The unit tests mock octokit, so they do not detect it. As a result, the annotation feature fails in the one case where it matters.

};Also add expect(annotation).toHaveProperty('end_line'); in test-check-run-annotations.js.

Set timeout-minutes on the job.
The job makes network calls: npm ci, the validator with a GitHub token, and the Checks API. It has no timeout, so a hung step uses the default 360-minute limit. The path instructions require: "Timeouts set on long-running jobs (prevent hung workflows)."

Fail closed when the validator produces no usable report.
The redirect > validation-report.json creates the file before node runs. If bin/validate.js crashes, the file is empty and [ -f validation-report.json ] is still true, so the else branch never runs. jq on empty input prints nothing and exits 0, so FAILED is empty. Line 131 then sets FAILED=0, which gives new_failed=0. As a result, the PR comment shows "Validation PASSED" and "Set status check" passes. A crashed validator is reported as a clean pass.
A second problem appears once the else branch can run. That branch sets report_created=false. Lines 175-210 then post a neutral "No changelog changes detected" check run, which is wrong for a validator error. Use a distinct output for the error case.

Persist the audit log entry.
This step writes .github/reports/validation-audits/<file>.json into the runner workspace. No later step uploads or commits the file. Line 96 has the same problem for latest-report.json. The files are deleted when the runner exits, so no audit record remains. Add an actions/upload-artifact step with if: always(), or remove the step.
Proposed fix
- name: Upload audit log
if: always() && steps.changed-files.outputs.any_changed == 'true'
uses: actions/upload-artifact@<pinned-sha> # vX
with:
name: changelog-validation-audit-${{ github.run_id }}

Remove continue-on-error from the gate step.
"Set status check" is the only step that enforces new_failed > 0. With continue-on-error: true, the step outcome is failure but the step conclusion is success, so the validate-changelog job always passes. The validate step also has continue-on-error: true at Line 149. A PR that introduces new changelog failures therefore gets a green job. The workflow does not meet the path instruction: "Ensure workflows enforce linting, testing, and release policies."
🐛 Proposed fix
echo "✅ Changelog validation passed (no new failures)"
- continue-on-error: true"Report validation results" already uses if: always(), so it still runs after the gate fails.

Adds `CHANGELOG.md merge=union` from develop so the merge below resolves the changelog automatically instead of by hand. Needed because git reads merge attributes from the working tree being merged into, so the branch must carry the attribute before develop can be merged in.

Closes #NONE (new convergence work on MVP tasks)
Relates to: Convergence analysis for Phase 10 (MVP Validation & Gap Closure)
Summary
Implements GitHub Check Run API integration to close the critical FR-2 gap identified during MVP convergence. The changelog validation workflow now creates proper GitHub Check Runs with detailed violation annotations visible in the PR Checks tab, replacing the comment-only approach.
