Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

patch-notes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Patch Notes

A focused twin of /changelog. Produces only the user-facing, store-ready patch notes for a release. Haiku tier — this is formatting and rewording, not synthesis.


Phase 1: Locate Inputs

Parse --version=<v>. Default: most recent unreleased tag.

Read in parallel:

  • production/releases/changelog-internal-[version].md (preferred source).
  • If no internal changelog exists, read git log for the version window and any associated story / bug records.
  • .claude/docs/technical-preferences.md for target locales.

Phase 2: Pick the Tone

Parse --tone. If not given, propose options via AskUserQuestion:

  • warm — friendly, first-person plural ("We've added...").
  • neutral — direct, third-person ("[App] now supports Apple Pay").
  • formal — precise, legal-friendly ("Version [N] introduces support for Apple Pay").

Default: warm.

Apply the tone to every line consistently. Mixing tones is a smell.


Phase 3: Distill the Internal Changelog

For each entry in the internal source:

  • Drop Internal / Refactor / Reverted entries unless user-visible.
  • Drop test-only changes.
  • Keep Features, Improvements, Fixes, Security in user-friendly form.

Apply rewriting rules:

  • Replace developer terms with user terms: "reducer" -> drop; "background fetch" -> "while the app is closed"; "Hermes upgrade" -> "faster startup".
  • Lead with user benefit: "Cold start improvements" -> "App opens faster".
  • Avoid passive voice unless required by tone.
  • Avoid "we fixed a bug where..." — be specific. "Sign-in no longer fails when switching from Wi-Fi to cellular."
  • Keep entries punchy — one line per change unless context truly helps.

Phase 4: Compose Long Form

# What's New in [App] [version]

## New
- [bullet]

## Improvements
- [bullet]

## Fixes
- [bullet]

## Notes
[1-3 lines of plain language about anything users should know — new
permission, etc. Optional.]

Thanks for using [App]. Got feedback? [contact].

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
