59ebf29Thanks @sbroenne! - Fixconditionalformat addthrowing onborderStyle/borderColor(#737). Writing border formatting on a conditional-format rule threwCOMException: Unable to set the LineStyle property of the Border class. Root cause:FormatCondition.Bordersis a 4-item collection indexed 1-4 (left/top/bottom/right), unlikeRange.Borderswhich uses thexlEdgeLeft/Top/Bottom/Rightconstants (7-10) — writing (and reading) via those out-of-range indices silently returned an unbound placeholder that threw on write and reported blank values on read. Both the write path (add) and the read path (list-rules/list-worksheet-rules) now use the correct 1-4 indices, so border style and color round-trip correctly. -
352b1daThanks @github-actions[bot]! - Release automation: reliably commit the changelog back tomain. The post-release step now pushes the compiledCHANGELOG.mdupdate directly tomainusing an adminRELEASE_PAT, instead of opening achore/changelog-vXPR. On this user-owned repo the GitHub Actions bot can't be a branch-protection bypass actor, so that PR could never satisfy the required status checks and piled up open — leaving several releases with a stale/missing CHANGELOG onmain. The direct push (as a ruleset bypass actor) removes the stuck-PR failure mode entirely.
