+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to the shared workflows of this repository. The format and
+the version rules are those of the release process (`guides/release-process.md`,
+ADR-0006): one version for the whole repository, tags `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
+and a moving major tag `vMAJOR`.
+
+Each release lists its changes in these groups, in this order:
+
+- **Breaking**: a renamed or removed workflow, input, secret name or output; a
+  raised default tool version or changed default that can turn a green
+  consumer red; a changed meaning of pass or fail. A release with a Breaking
+  entry has a new major version.
+- **Added**: a new optional input, workflow or capability.
+- **Changed**: a change with no visible effect for existing callers.
+- **Fixed**: a fix.
+
+`python tools/changelog.py check` verifies the file, and
+`python tools/changelog.py notes <version>` prints the text of a release page.
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+Everything below is what the first release, `1.0.0`, will contain. Until it is
+tagged the workflows are delivered from `main` and are not pinned.
+
+### Added
+
+- Scoped workflow `sync-github-metadata.yml`: copies the description and topics
+  of a Gitea repository to its GitHub push mirror on every push to `main`, by
+  hand and daily at 03:17 UTC. A repository without a GitHub mirror is skipped
+  successfully.
+- A credential preflight before any change, and failure messages that name
+  their category (`configuration`, `credentials`, `permissions`, `api`).
+- Scoped workflow `publish-wiki.yml`: publishes `wiki/` to the repository wiki
+  when a repository has opted in with `wiki/.publish`; the word `prune` in that
+  file also deletes pages that are not in `wiki/`.
+- Reusable workflow `quality-checks.yml`: `ruff`, `mypy --strict`, `shellcheck`
+  and `shfmt` on the tracked Python and shell files, with the inputs
+  `languages`, `working-directory` and one pinned version per tool.
+- Guides for onboarding a repository, workflow credentials, troubleshooting,
+  reading quality-check results and releasing, and the same pages on the wiki in
+  English, Danish and Bahasa Malaysia.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The scripts of the scoped workflows are files under `tools/`, fetched by a
+  checkout of this repository, instead of Python embedded in the YAML.
+- Secrets hold the bare token as clear text: `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA`,
+  `PAT_FOR_GITHUB` and `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI`. They replace the JSON secret
+  `CREDENTIALS_FOR_GITHUB`, which is no longer read.
