Minor Changes
- #745
eabdeb3Thanks @sbroenne! - Conditional formatting: full support for visual rule types (#743).add-rulecan now create colorScale, dataBar, iconSet, top10, aboveAverage, timePeriod, uniqueValues and blanksCondition rules via discrete, LLM-friendly parameters (e.g.colorScaleMinColor,dataBarDirection,iconSetId,rank,aboveBelow,datePeriod).list-rulesandlist-worksheet-rulesnow report each visual rule's type-specific configuration — color-scale stops, data-bar settings, icon-set thresholds, top/bottom, above/below and date period — with colors as#RRGGBB, so visual rules can be fully inspected and round-tripped.

2bffe1dThanks @sbroenne! - Release automation: make the changelog commit-back reliable. The post-release step that writesCHANGELOG.mdback tomainnow opens a short-lived PR and merges it with an admin bypass, instead of pushing directly tomain, fixing a case where the direct push was unexpectedly rejected.
