Code Review
This pull request updates the CHANGELOG.md to document several recent fixes and workflow improvements, and corrects the formatting tool specification in CONTRIBUTING.md from gofmt to gofumpt. A high-severity security concern was raised regarding the removal of the author_association check in the agent label trigger, which violates the security policy in AGENTS.md and could lead to privilege escalation. Additionally, a suggestion was made to consolidate duplicate sections in the CHANGELOG.md to adhere to standard formatting practices.

Pull request overview
This PR hardens and corrects CI / repo-automation workflows (Claude agent, PR title validation, auto-labeling, release, Dependabot auto-merge) and syncs contributor/docs guidance with what CI actually enforces.
Changes:
- Fix Claude agent “issues.labeled” trigger so the
agentlabel path is reachable. - Switch
pr-title.ymlandlabel.ymltopull_request_targetto support fork PRs (sticky comment + labels) without checking out PR code. - Pin GoReleaser CLI major version and tighten workflow permissions; update CONTRIBUTING + CHANGELOG accordingly.

Gemini [MUST] flagged a real privilege-escalation: dropping the author_association check on claude-agent.yml's agent-label path opens the trigger to Triage-role users (one step below COLLABORATOR), contradicting the policy documented in AGENTS.md. Added a first-step verification that calls the collaborators/permission API and requires admin/maintain/write before the rest of the job runs. The labeled branch still doesn't gate via author_association (that field doesn't exist on sender), so the step is how we enforce the boundary. Copilot flagged that `gh pr merge --auto` can perform an immediate squash when checks are already green at enablement time, which needs tree-write. Restored `contents: write` on dependabot-automerge.yml to cover that edge case. Updated CHANGELOG to reflect both decisions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Combines the #56 follow-up (switching pr-title.yml + label.yml back to pull_request_target now that they exist on main) with fixes for four issues Claude flagged in its post-merge review of #55. Fixes (real bugs): - claude-agent.yml: the agent-label trigger gated on `github.event.sender.author_association`, but `sender` is a plain User object on issues.labeled webhooks — it has no author_association field. The check silently evaluated false and made the labeled branch unreachable. Dropping the association check; GitHub's built-in Triage+ permission on label writes is the authorization boundary. - CONTRIBUTING.md: code-style section said gofmt; CI enforces gofumpt (a strict superset). gofmt-formatted code would fail `make fmt-check`. Corrected. Hardening: - pr-title.yml + label.yml: now use pull_request_target so fork PRs get the Validate check + sticky comment + auto-labels. Safe — both workflows read only event metadata and never check out PR code. Closes #56. - release.yml: pin goreleaser CLI to `~> v2` (was `latest`). Picks up patch/minor bumps via goreleaser-action's resolver, breaks loudly on v3 instead of silently changing release behavior. - dependabot-automerge.yml: drop `contents: write` permission. The workflow only calls `gh pr review` + `gh pr merge`, both of which need only `pull-requests: write`. Least-privilege. All six items Claude flagged in the post-merge review of #55 are either applied here or acknowledged in the reply (the 200-item board lookup cap is tracked in #58; the labeler label names were verified to exist).

…r approach Switching a workflow's trigger from pull_request to pull_request_target in a PR creates a coverage gap — on pull_request events GitHub evaluates the workflow from the PR head (which now says pull_request_target, no match), and pull_request_target fires from the default branch's file (which still says pull_request, also no match). Net: neither Validate nor Apply labels fired on this PR. Reverting the trigger swap. The other four post-merge fixes (agent label gate, contents: write, goreleaser pin, gofmt→gofumpt) stay — they don't have this issue. #56 stays open; the correct transition is a dual-trigger PR (both pull_request AND pull_request_target declared simultaneously) that closes the gap during the switch, followed by a cleanup PR that drops pull_request once the new trigger is verified working on main.

…ow blindspot Two gaps Eric flagged after watching the #64 review dialog: 1. The existing "@mention to invite counter-reply" rule only applied to pushback cases. In practice the bot doesn't see the reply without a mention regardless of whether it's an accept or a pushback, so the dialog silently terminates. Rule now says mention on every bot reply, with a per-bot mention pattern: - Claude: @claude - Gemini: @gemini-code-assist - Copilot: no mention works — add a parenthetical note about the re-request button instead 2. Gemini Code Assist silently skips .github/workflows/** — it's a hardcoded Google default that .gemini/config.yaml's ignore_patterns can't remove. Documented the limitation in the review-tooling reference table and added a note so contributors don't assume Gemini reviewed their workflow changes. Also retrofitted the three bot-reply comments on #64 with the proper mentions after the fact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replaced a broken webhook permission check with a direct API call to verify write+ access and corrected the formatting tool requirement from gofmt to gofumpt.
Workflow Stability: Pinned the GoReleaser CLI to the v2 major line to prevent breaking changes and maintained elevated Dependabot permissions to avoid merge failures on pre-cleared PRs.
