Problem
Release notes generated by semantic-release come out empty (version header only, no Features / Bug Fixes / etc. sections). Example: mloda-ai/open-kgo release
0.2.1.Root cause is an unpinned transitive dependency. The release workflow installs
conventional-changelog-conventionalcommitsunpinned. On 2026-06-26 that package published a breaking major (v10) which:hiddencommit-type property with a neweffectproperty, so section/visibility config in.releaserc.yamlis silently ignored, and@conventional-changelog/template, consumed byconventional-changelog-writer@9).@semantic-release/release-notes-generator@14(latest) still depends onconventional-changelog-writer@^8(the Handlebars writer) and is tested (devDependency) againstconventional-changelog-conventionalcommits@9.3.1. When the unpinned install resolves v10, writer 8 cannot consume the v10 preset's render functions, so it renders nothing. This affects all commit types, not justchore.Migrating forward to the v10 preset is not currently possible in a supported way: no published
@semantic-release/release-notes-generatordepends onconventional-changelog-writer@9, so nothing in the semantic-release chain speaks the render-function protocol v10 emits.Fix
Pin
conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits@9.3.1in the release workflow, the exact versionrelease-notes-generator@14is tested against. This restores populated release notes and keeps a supported dependency combination.Scope
Org-wide regression. Identical PRs are being opened in
mloda,mloda-registry,mloda-plugin-template, andmloda-plugin-govdata.
