The drafts came from the commits' subjects, which are written for
developers: each of the releases of 4 Nov 2026 (Todo 0.2.0, Train 0.3.0,
Learn 0.24.0) listed every commit since the last, Meditate's among them
where it touched a shared package, more than twice F-Droid's 500
characters, the German all still to translate, and each had to be written
again whole.
A commit people would notice now says so in its message's trailers,
`Whats-New: <sentence>` once a change and `Whats-New-De: <Satz>` in the
same order, and the draft is those lines alone, the features' first, a
missing translation marked TRANSLATE:. Only where no commit of the
release carries one does it fall back to the subjects. A commit whose
scope names apps (feat(todo,meditate): ...) counts for those alone, any
other for every app it touches. Over a running next.<language>.txt per
app, which parallel branches conflict on at every merge, and over an
assistant drafting at release time (a key, the commits sent to a
provider, a different text each run). ADR 0030, D61.

halkyon_app's WhatsNew reads what each release changed from the app's
assets/whats_new/ (<version>.<language>.txt, English and German, a change
a line): after an update a sheet lists every release since the one the
device showed last, newest first, once; Settings shows the running
version's again, above About. Nothing on a fresh install.
tool/release.dart drafts the missing texts from the commits that count
after "Go on?" (German marked TRANSLATE:), opens them in the editor until
they fit (no mark left, F-Droid's 500 characters) and commits them with
the version. The English is the Forgejo notes' What's new, each language
F-Droid's changelog of the build, written at publishing and copied in by
tool/fdroid_repo.sh. Learn and Train bundle their texts, Learn's 0.22.0
and Train's 0.1.0 written to start.
