📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR removes the unused generate-changelog.js utility from the upgrade package and adds a changeset metadata file. The changelog generator, which dynamically imported versioned SDK data and formatted Markdown output, is no longer needed. The changeset file records a patch-level bump for @clerk/upgrade and documents the removal of the unused script.

Add a version bump for @clerk/upgrade (don’t keep this changeset empty)
@clerk/upgrade is public (publishConfig.access: "public", files: ["dist"]) and its build runs Babel over the whole src tree with --copy-files, so removing packages/upgrade/src/util/generate-changelog.js changes what ends up in the published dist. Replace the empty changeset with a package version entry, e.g.:
---"`@clerk/upgrade`": patch--- Remove unused generate-changelog utility

Agree. This does change the published dist, so a changeset is needed

Seems like the humans are having a chat. I'll hop back into my burrow for now. If you need me again, just tag @coderabbitai in a new comment, and I'll come hopping out!

Looks good, but we should add a changeset for correctness
