Changesets: PR Receipts for Monorepo Releases
A changeset is a receipt stapled to each PR that records what changed and how it bumps versions. It lets CI batch monorepo releases and generate changelogs automatically. The footgun is forgetting to add one, leaving unreleased code silently unpublishable.
A changeset is a receipt you staple to every pull request that records which packages changed and their semver impact. In monorepos, this decouples coding from release management: CI later batches the files, bumps versions automatically, and writes changelogs without human toil. It eliminates the coordination nightmare of manually tracking cross-package updates. The footgun is that if a developer forgets to generate a changeset, their merged code sits unreleased and invisible until someone notices.
