fix: disable MD004 markdownlint rule (blocks release-please PRs) - #30
Merged
Conversation
release-please generates its auto-release CHANGELOG sections with asterisk bullets, while every hand-written entry in this file uses dashes. Markdownlint's MD004 enforces one bullet style per document based on whichever appears first, so every release-please PR fails Lint as soon as its generated section lands above the existing dash-based history. Disable the rule instead of fighting the generator's fixed template. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Same root cause as the MD004 fix in #30: release-please's generated CHANGELOG template inserts double blank lines between its heading and section blocks (confirmed in the live CI failure log for PR #29, CHANGELOG.md:10 and :22). This is fixed template output from the release-please action, not something under our control, so it will recur on every future release PR unless disabled at the config level.

Summary
release-pleasegenerates its auto-release CHANGELOG sections with*bullets; every hand-written entry in this file uses-. Markdownlint's MD004 enforces a single bullet style per document (based on whichever appears first), so PR chore(master): release 4.0.0 #29 (chore(master): release 4.0.0) currently fails Lint purely because of this style clash — not a real content problem..markdownlint.json) is the sustainable fix rather than reformatting the changelog by hand each time.Test plan
