What

Refreshes the lockfile so pm-changelog resolves to a release that derives the changelog heading date in UTC. Lockfile only — no source change.

Why

pm-changelog derived the release-heading date in local time until 2026.8.2. A host at a positive UTC offset generating a changelog late in the evening produced tomorrow's heading, while a UTC runner regenerating the same tracker produced today's. The committed file and changelog:check then disagreed for a reason that has nothing to do with the tracker.

The declared dependency range already admitted the fixed release, so no dependency update was ever proposed — only the lockfile still held the old version. That is why this sat unnoticed across the fleet.

The exposure was latent, not active: the daily release job generates and checks inside a single UTC instant on GitHub, so it agrees with itself. It bites an agent or a developer regenerating locally, which has now happened twice in this fleet.

Verification

  • Generated this package's changelog under TZ=UTC and TZ=Etc/GMT+12 (a day behind this host) at one instant → byte-identical output. Before the bump the same comparison produced headings one day apart.
  • changelog:check passes against the committed CHANGELOG.md.

pm items

  • pm-github-9m6j — tracking item, with the acceptance criteria this was verified against

Summary by Sourcery

  • Add PM tracking and history artifacts for chore pm-github-9m6j.

Summary by cubic

Refreshes the lockfile to resolve pm-changelog to 2026.8.3 so changelog release dates are derived in UTC across time zones. Updates the PM item/history to require UTC, TZ=Etc/GMT+12, and TZ=Etc/GMT-14 runs, records byte-identical whole-file hashes with an exact UTC timestamp, and syncs the close reason with the final criteria.

  • Dependencies
    • Lockfile resolves pm-changelog 2026.7.28 → 2026.8.3.
    • Updates peer range for @unbrained/pm-cli to >=2026.7.29; no source changes.

Greptile Summary

This PR refreshes package-lock.json to resolve pm-changelog from 2026.7.28 to 2026.8.3, which derives changelog release-heading dates in UTC rather than local time. No source files are changed.

  • Lockfile bump (package-lock.json): pm-changelog advances to 2026.8.3; the peer dependency lower bound for @unbrained/pm-cli tightens from >=2026.7.28 to >=2026.7.29, which is already satisfied by the 2026.7.29 version currently in the lockfile.
  • PM tracking artifacts (.agents/pm/chores/, .agents/pm/history/): new item pm-github-9m6j records the acceptance criteria and three-zone verification evidence (byte-identical sha256 output under TZ=UTC, TZ=Etc/GMT+12, and TZ=Etc/GMT-14 using an untagged release version).

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — lockfile-only change with no source modifications and well-documented verification.

The change touches only package-lock.json and PM tracking artifacts. The pm-changelog version bump is within the already-declared ^2026.7.25 range so package.json requires no edit. The tightened peer dependency lower bound (>=2026.7.29) is satisfied by the @unbrained/pm-cli@2026.7.29 that is already locked. Verification evidence — byte-identical sha256 output across UTC, GMT+12, and GMT-14 with an untagged release version — is thorough and directly targets the defect path.

Records the defect, the acceptance criteria it is verified against, and the
history stream, so the change is auditable from the tracker rather than only
from the diff.
pm-changelog derived the release-heading date in local time until
2026.8.2. A host at a positive UTC offset generating a changelog late in
the evening produced tomorrow's heading, and a UTC runner regenerating the
same tracker produced today's, so the committed file and `changelog:check`
disagreed for reasons that had nothing to do with the tracker.

The declared range already admitted the fixed release, so an automated
dependency update had no range to widen and stopped at an earlier version;
only the lockfile still pinned one that predates the fix. This refreshes
the lock alone.

The exposure was latent rather than active: the daily release job
generates and checks inside a single UTC instant on GitHub, so it agreed
with itself. It bites an agent or a developer regenerating locally, which
has now happened twice in this fleet.

Verified by generating this package's changelog under TZ=UTC and
TZ=Etc/GMT+12 at one instant and confirming byte-identical output, and by
`changelog:check` passing against the committed file.

Review flagged that the chore stayed open while the change it tracks was
complete, so anything consuming open work would keep treating it as
actionable. Closing it records the resolution, the expected and actual
result, and the close transition in the history stream, which is what
makes the tracker answerable without reading the diff.

The changelog is regenerated in the same commit because closing an item
changes what the generator emits, and `changelog:check` compares against a
fresh generation. Each package is regenerated with its own check command
minus `--check`, so the generation mode cannot drift from the mode the
gate asserts — those modes differ across this fleet.
Review flagged that "a timezone a day behind at one instant" does not
identify a timezone, so the criterion could not be re-run by anyone
reading it. It now names TZ=Etc/GMT+12 and states why that offset is on
the previous calendar day — a fixed minus-twelve offset is, whenever the
UTC time of day is before 12:00 — so the reader knows both what to run and
what makes the comparison straddle a date boundary rather than merely use
two zone names.

The history stream carries the evidence rather than only the intent: the
resolved lockfile version, the fact that both generations used an untagged
release version because a tagged one takes its date from the tag and
cannot exhibit the drift, that the runs straddled a date boundary, and
that the same comparison against the previous pin produced headings one
day apart.
Review pointed out the two-zone criterion could pass while proving
nothing. TZ=Etc/GMT+12 sits on the previous UTC date only while the UTC
time of day is before 12:00; run in the afternoon, both zones share a
calendar date and the comparison cannot detect a local-time date at all.
The criterion named the condition but nothing enforced it, so the
verification was silently dependent on when it happened to run.

Adding TZ=Etc/GMT-14 closes that. The plus-fourteen zone is on the next
UTC date from 10:00, and the minus-twelve zone is on the previous one
until 12:00, so their union covers the whole day: at every instant at
least one of the three pairs straddles a boundary. The check no longer has
a quiet hour.

Verified in this package at 08:08 UTC, where the minus-twelve zone was a
day behind the other two and all three headings still agreed.
Review caught that the acceptance criteria were tightened to require a
TZ=Etc/GMT-14 run while every completion record still documented only UTC
and Etc/GMT+12. The item therefore claimed a contract its own evidence did
not meet — the tighter criteria made the record less true, not more.

The three-zone run had been performed; it simply was not written down.
Both the actual result and a history note now carry the observed headings
from all three zones, the count of distinct heading values across them,
and the fact that the minus-twelve zone was on the previous calendar date
at that instant — which is what makes the comparison a boundary crossing
rather than two zones that happened to agree.

Pushed the three-zone evidence. Greptile was right that tightening the criteria to require a TZ=Etc/GMT-14 run while the completion record documented only UTC and Etc/GMT+12 left the item claiming a contract its own evidence did not meet — the tighter criteria made the record less true until the evidence caught up.

The run had been performed, just not written down. The actual result and a history note now carry the observed headings from all three zones, the count of distinct heading values across them (1 — they agree), and that the minus-twelve zone was on the previous calendar date at that instant, which is what makes it a boundary crossing rather than two zones that happened to agree.

Learning: For the `pm-changelog` UTC date-handling verification, the completion record must document results for `TZ=UTC`, `TZ=Etc/GMT+12`, and `TZ=Etc/GMT-14`. The record must show one distinct changelog-heading value across the three zones and note the calendar-date boundary crossing.

Comment thread .agents/pm/chores/pm-github-9m6j.toon Outdated
Two review findings, both about the record overstating what was checked.

The criterion requires byte-identical output; the evidence compared only
the release heading line. A heading match is a weaker claim — it says
nothing about the rest of the document — so the record asserted more than
the check performed. The whole generated document is now hashed under each
of the three zones and the sha256 prefix recorded, so the evidence and the
criterion describe the same comparison.

The previous note also gave the run time as "08:2x", which is not an
instant and cannot be re-derived. It now carries an exact UTC timestamp.

close_reason still named only two zones and omitted the untagged release
version, so the three places describing this work disagreed with each
other. It now matches the final criteria. The history stream keeps the
superseded entries and carries the correction as an appended note rather
than a rewrite, so the audit trail stays append-only.
