Create changelog for azd 1.24.1

[Copilot]

Prepares the 1.24.1 patch release changelog from commits merged since 1.24.0.

Version bumps

• cli/version.txt: 1.24.0 → 1.24.1
• cli/azd/pkg/azdext/version.go: Version constant 1.24.0 → 1.24.1

Changelog entries (cli/azd/CHANGELOG.md)

Features Added

• #7697 .azdxignore support for azd x watch
• #7746 Local Bicep preflight check for Azure reserved resource names

Bugs Fixed

• #7768 Copilot errorHandling.fix=allow now auto-retries (was fix-only, no retry)
• #7600 docker.path/docker.context wrongly resolved relative to service dir instead of project root
• #7698 Subscription-scope cleanup incorrectly treated pre-existing resource groups as deployment-owned
• #7707 azd pipeline config --provider azdo hardcoded queue name "Default" causing failures

Other Changes

• #7600 Performance: HTTP connection pooling, adaptive ARM poll frequency, ACR login caching, Container App 5s poll

Unreleased header

Updated to ## 1.25.0-beta.1 (Unreleased) — next minor version placeholder, consistent with eng/scripts/Update-CliVersion.ps1 convention.

Skill update

Updated .github/skills/changelog-generation/references/scope-rules.md to document:

• After any release, the new (Unreleased) placeholder uses the next minor version (X.(Y+1).0-beta.1), not the next patch.
• The release date should be today's date (the date the changelog is authored/committed), not a future planned ship date.

Exclusions

Extension-only (#7741, #7763, #7747, #7765, #7753, #7787), CI/release (#7760, #7772), docs-only (#7667, #7757), test-only (#7770), reverted-before-1.24.0 (#7744).

A few things worth checking before this ships:

• The 1.24.0 changelog lists --fail-on-prompt (#7394) as a new feature, but #7744 reverted that flag on Apr 15, after 1.24.0 shipped. The 1.24.1 entry doesn't mention the revert, so users following the changelog will look for the flag in 1.24.1 and not find it. An entry under Bugs Fixed or Other Changes calling out the removal would close that gap.
• The Unreleased header was bumped from 1.24.0-beta.1 to 1.24.1-beta.1. The prior patch release PR (#7711, 1.23.16) left the unreleased header alone and let the follow-up Increment CLI version after release PR handle it via eng/scripts/Update-CliVersion.ps1. With this change, ## 1.24.1-beta.1 (Unreleased) sits directly above ## 1.24.1 (2026-04-18), which reads as the same version being both released and in development. Worth confirming this is intentional.
• Release date is set to 2026-04-18. Today is 2026-04-17 (local). If tomorrow is the planned ship date that's fine; otherwise it should be today's date per the changelog skill convention.

• 1.24.1-beta.1 (Unreleased) should be 1.25.0-beta.1 (Unreleased)
• can you also update the changelog generation skill for above?

A few things worth checking before this ships:

• The 1.24.0 changelog lists --fail-on-prompt (Add --fail-on-prompt flag for strict non-interactive mode #7394) as a new feature, but Revert "Add --fail-on-prompt flag for strict non-interactive mode" #7744 reverted that flag on Apr 15, after 1.24.0 shipped. The 1.24.1 entry...

Done in 7204c57. Added [[#7744]] under Other Changes to call out the removal of --fail-on-prompt and AZD_FAIL_ON_PROMPT. The unreleased header was corrected to 1.25.0-beta.1 per @rajeshkamal5050's direction below.

@copilot

• 1.24.1-beta.1 (Unreleased) should be 1.25.0-beta.1 (Unreleased)
• can you also update the changelog generation skill for above?

Done in 7204c57:

• Updated unreleased header to ## 1.25.0-beta.1 (Unreleased)
• Updated .github/skills/changelog-generation/references/scope-rules.md with the convention: after any release (patch or minor), the new placeholder uses the next minor version X.(Y+1).0-beta.1, not the next patch

@copilot

1. Release date should be 2026-04-17 not 2026-04-18. Also update the skill to use the correct date convention.
2. Remove Revert "Add --fail-on-prompt flag for strict non-interactive mode" #7744 from the 1.24.1 changelog — it was already reverted and shipped in 1.24.0, not in the 1.24.0→1.24.1 commit range.

[rajeshkamal5050]

@copilot fix these:

1. release date is wrong — should be 2026-04-17. update the skill too so it picks the right date.
2. remove Revert "Add --fail-on-prompt flag for strict non-interactive mode" #7744 entry — it shipped in 1.24.0 already, not in the 1.24.1 commit range.

Done in e5a66b3:

1. Release date corrected to 2026-04-17; skill updated to emphasize using the date the changelog is authored, not a future ship date
2. #7744 entry removed from the 1.24.1 section

Both were already fixed in e5a66b3: release date is 2026-04-17 and the #7744 entry has been removed.
