The .nextchanges/ system fully drives the release now (release_tagging.py renders CHANGELOG.md straight from fragments), so NEXT_CHANGELOG.md is no longer read by anything. Remove it, migrating its one pending v1.8.0 entry to a .nextchanges/ fragment (verified it renders identically). Repoint a stale NEXT_CHANGELOG.md reference in an acceptance test comment at CHANGELOG.md. Co-authored-by: Isaac

note https://github.com/databricks/cli/blob/main/.nextchanges/version is already at 1.8.0 so no need for cutover

…t into files (databricks#5534) ## Changes - Added `.nextchanges/` scaffolding (one file per entry, grouped by section) - Release renders fragments straight into `CHANGELOG.md` via a repo-owned `internal/genkit/release_tagging.py` wrapper around the synced `tagging.py` - Release version tracked in `.nextchanges/version` (auto-bumped each release) - New `check-changelog` Taskfile target; `validate_nextchanges.py` validates fragment placement + the version file - Updated agent PR skill ## Why Prevent common merge conflicts on the file during busy/productive times, requiring manual action to rebase. Why not `merge=union` in .gitattributes? Easy quality of life for local, but unfortunately [not supported by GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/9288). ## Tests - e925f8d - add dummy entries into `.nextchanges/` (mixed `* ` / `- ` / no marker) - a339ab0 - simulate the release: render into `CHANGELOG.md` (blank line after each heading, markers normalized to ` * `), delete fragments, bump `version` - `validate_nextchanges.py` rejects bad entries (each exits 1): - misplaced fragment (unknown section dir) → `not in a known section directory` - empty fragment → `empty fragment` - missing `.nextchanges/version` → `missing; expected the next release version` - malformed version → `not a valid semver version` ## Rollout (follow-up) This PR already renders `.nextchanges/` directly into `CHANGELOG.md` at release. `NEXT_CHANGELOG.md` is intentionally left in the tree, now unused, to keep this PR focused. **Follow-up cutover PR:** databricks#5831 `git rm NEXT_CHANGELOG.md` once nothing references it. It's split out so this PR is easy to review and revert; the deletion is mechanical. _This pull request was written by Isaac, an AI coding agent._

…sue databricks#4179 (databricks#5923) The fragment added by databricks#5831 linked the `env:` section changelog entry to the original issue (databricks#4179) rather than the PR that implemented the feature (databricks#5299). This includes both links.

Follow-up cutover to #5534. That PR left
NEXT_CHANGELOG.mdin the tree (unused) to stay focused;release_tagging.pyalready rendersCHANGELOG.mdstraight from.nextchanges/fragments. This deletes the now-vestigial file and its last references.Tests
task check-changelogpasses (fragments +versionvalid).release_tagging.pyreads only.nextchanges/(fragments +version), neverNEXT_CHANGELOG.md, so the deletion changes no release behavior.NEXT_CHANGELOG.mdbody byte-for-byte.This pull request was written by Isaac, an AI coding agent.
