Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: workflow_fix
Affected Agent: agent-evolver (this agent)
Evidence: PR reviewer HAL9001 submitted REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #7957 (improvement PR for bug-hunt-pool-supervisor) with the following blocking feedback (review ID 4918, 2026-04-12T17:52:41Z):

❌ 4. No Changelog Update

CONTRIBUTING.md (§PR Process, rule 6) states:
Update the changelog. The PR must include an update to the changelog file.
This PR touches only .opencode/agents/bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md and includes no CHANGELOG.md entry.
Required action: Add a changelog entry under [Unreleased]

All improvement PRs created by the agent evolver (PRs #7957, #7922, #7914, #7632, #7586, #7579) modify only .opencode/agents/*.md files and do not include a CHANGELOG.md update. This violates CONTRIBUTING.md §PR Process rule 6, which requires every PR to update the changelog.

Proposed Change

When implementing an approved proposal (creating a branch, modifying the agent file, committing, and pushing), the agent evolver should also:

Read the current CHANGELOG.md to find the [Unreleased] section
Add an appropriate entry under ### Changed (or ### Fixed for bug fixes) describing the agent improvement
Include the CHANGELOG.md change in the same commit as the agent file change

The changelog entry format should be:

### Changed
- Fix `<agent-name>` agent: <brief description of what was changed and why> (#<proposal-issue-number>)

This is a surgical change to the implementation step of the agent evolver's workflow — specifically the "NOW implement the change: branch, modify, commit, PR" section.

Expected Impact

Improvement PRs will pass the changelog requirement check
Fewer REQUEST_CHANGES reviews from HAL9001 on improvement PRs
Faster path to merge for improvement PRs

Risk Assessment

Low risk: Adding a changelog entry is a well-understood operation. The agent already reads files and makes commits.
Potential downside: If the CHANGELOG.md format changes, the agent might add entries in the wrong place. However, the [Unreleased] section is a standard convention.
Mitigation: The agent should read the existing CHANGELOG.md before writing to understand the current format.

This is a proposal from the agent evolver. A human must approve this issue before the change will be implemented. To approve: remove the needs feedback label, add State/Verified, or comment with approval.
