Matthew Raymer 1a06dea491 docs(workflow): enhance version control rules with synchronization requirements
- Add Version Synchronization Requirements section for package.json/CHANGELOG.md sync
- Include Version Sync Checklist with pre-commit validation steps
- Add Version Change Detection guidelines for identifying version mismatches
- Include Implementation Notes for semantic versioning and changelog standards
- Ensure version bump commits follow proper format and documentation
- Maintain existing human control requirements while adding version sync enforcement

# Directive: Peaceful Co-Existence with Developers
## 1) Version-Control Ownership
* **MUST NOT** run `git add`, `git commit`, or any write action.
* **MUST** leave staging/committing to the developer.
## 2) Source of Truth for Commit Text
* **MUST** derive messages **only** from:
* files **staged** for commit (primary), and
* files **awaiting staging** (context).
* **MUST** use the **diffs** to inform content.
* **MUST NOT** invent changes or imply work not present in diffs.
## 3) Mandatory Preview Flow
* **ALWAYS** present, before any real commit:
* file list + brief per-file notes,
* a **draft commit message** (copy-paste ready),
* nothing auto-applied.
## 4) Version Synchronization Requirements
* **MUST** check for version changes in `package.json` before committing
* **MUST** ensure `CHANGELOG.md` is updated when `package.json` version changes
* **MUST** validate version format consistency between both files
* **MUST** include version bump commits in changelog with proper semantic versioning
### Version Sync Checklist (Before Commit)
- [ ] `package.json` version matches latest `CHANGELOG.md` entry
- [ ] New version follows semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE])
- [ ] Changelog entry includes all significant changes since last version
- [ ] Version bump commit message follows `build(version): bump to X.Y.Z` format
- [ ] Breaking changes properly documented with migration notes
- [ ] Alert developer in chat message that version has been updated
### Version Change Detection
* **Check for version changes** in staged/unstaged `package.json`
* **Alert developer** if version changed but changelog not updated
* **Suggest changelog update** with proper format and content
* **Validate semantic versioning** compliance
### Implementation Notes
* **Version Detection**: Compare `package.json` version field with latest changelog entry
* **Semantic Validation**: Ensure version follows `X.Y.Z[-PRERELEASE]` format
* **Changelog Format**: Follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) standards
* **Breaking Changes**: Use `!` in commit message and `BREAKING CHANGE:` in changelog
* **Pre-release Versions**: Include beta/alpha/rc suffixes in both files consistently

# Commit Message Format (Normative)
## A. Subject Line (required)
```
<type>(<scope>)<!>: <summary>
```
* **type** (lowercase, Conventional Commits): `feat|fix|refactor|perf|docs|test|build|chore|ci|revert`
* **scope**: optional module/package/area (e.g., `api`, `ui/login`, `db`)
* **!**: include when a breaking change is introduced
* **summary**: imperative mood, ≤ 72 chars, no trailing period
**Examples**
* `fix(api): handle null token in refresh path`
* `feat(ui/login)!: require OTP after 3 failed attempts`
## B. Body (optional, when it adds non-obvious value)
* One blank line after subject.
* Wrap at \~72 chars.
* Explain **what** and **why**, not line-by-line “how”.
* Include brief notes like tests passing or TS/lint issues resolved **only if material**.
**Body checklist**
* [ ] Problem/symptom being addressed
* [ ] High-level approach or rationale
* [ ] Risks, tradeoffs, or follow-ups (if any)
## C. Footer (optional)
* Issue refs: `Closes #123`, `Refs #456`
* Breaking change (alternative to `!`):
`BREAKING CHANGE: <impact + migration note>`
* Authors: `Co-authored-by: Name <email>`
* Security: `CVE-XXXX-YYYY: <short note>` (if applicable)
---
## Content Guidance
### Include (when relevant)
* Specific fixes/features delivered
* Symptoms/problems fixed
* Brief note that tests passed or TS/lint errors resolved
### Avoid
* Vague: *improved, enhanced, better*
* Trivialities: tiny docs, one-liners, pure lint cleanups (separate, focused commits if needed)
* Redundancy: generic blurbs repeated across files
* Multi-purpose dumps: keep commits **narrow and focused**
* Long explanations that good inline code comments already cover
**Guiding Principle:** Let code and inline docs speak. Use commits to highlight what isnt obvious.

# Copy-Paste Templates
## Minimal (no body)
```text
<type>(<scope>): <summary>
```
## Standard (with body & footer)
```text
<type>(<scope>)<!>: <summary>
<why-this-change?>
<what-it-does?>
<risks-or-follow-ups?>
Closes #<id>
BREAKING CHANGE: <impact + migration>
Co-authored-by: <Name> <email>
```

# Assistant Output Checklist (before showing the draft)
* [ ] List changed files + 12 line notes per file
* [ ] Provide **one** focused draft message (subject/body/footer)
* [ ] Subject ≤ 72 chars, imperative mood, correct `type(scope)!` syntax
* [ ] Body only if it adds non-obvious value
* [ ] No invented changes; aligns strictly with diffs
* [ ] Render as a single copy-paste block for the developer
