- **One `CHANGES.md` entry per candidate**, not per bump. The first bump of a candidate opens it

bump's `--title`, graded by `--impact`); every later bump of the *same* candidate updates that
entry in place - heading, date and the bumps list all move, but the entry's own prose is left
alone. `version notes` therefore still prints exactly one entry per release, whatever a
candidate's history of bumps looked like.
- **The entry is layered, not one undifferentiated block.** A long-running candidate can collect
dozens of bumps, chronological and equally weighted, which is unreadable as a release
announcement - `5.0.0` did this at ~1440 lines for one entry. So the entry reads, top to bottom,
as four layers with different authors and different lifetimes:
1. **Heading, author, breaking/migration lines** - written by `version bump`, anchored right
above the bump list so the line an operator most needs to act on never sits beneath a list
that can run long.
2. **The bump list**, grouped `**High/Medium/Low impact**` (empty groups omitted) - rendered by
`version bump`'s `--impact` (default `medium`), corrected after the fact by `version regrade`.
Flat and ungrouped, exactly as before this layering existed, when every bump is `medium` - the
common case, and the shape every pre-existing region still is.
3. **The release summary** - a short paragraph, written once, by hand, when the candidate is
ready to ship. `version release` refuses to close an entry with two or more bumps and no
summary here; a one-bump entry is exempt, since there the bump's own changeset already reads
as the summary.
4. **The changesets**, one `### <bump title>` heading per bump, in chronological order - the
detail a reader follows into from the graded list above. A changeset is a few sentences,
not the full rationale; what needs more than that belongs in the issue tracker, not here.
The list is the index into the changesets, which is why the bump list's title text and a
changeset's `###` heading are the same string.
- **`version bump` opens or continues a candidate; `version release` fixes one.** Only `release`
strips the suffix and turns the entry into a real, closed release - see its own row in
`tools/CONTRACT.md`. Nothing else does, and nothing auto-fixes a candidate on its own.

5. **Grade the bump while you are making it, with `--impact high|medium|low`** (default

never reported by anything. The 5.0.0 candidate is the case: it declared `--no-migration` for
a TOC-verification change, then absorbed a schema removal that migrates 152 pages.
7. **Fix the candidate once it is ready to ship.** `version bump` only ever opens or escalates
one; nothing turns it into a release except `tools/wikitool version release`, which strips the
`-beta.N` suffix and closes the entry - see its row in `tools/CONTRACT.md`. That is also the
point to pass a summarising `--title` if the candidate collected several bump titles along the
way; without one, the heading simply keeps whichever bump last set it.
7. **Review the graded list before fixing the candidate, and regrade what reads wrong.** Run
`tools/wikitool version regrade` with no arguments - it lists every bump at its current grade,
numbered in rendered order. A candidate that grew over several sessions often has a bump graded
in isolation that reads differently once the whole shape is visible; `version regrade 3 7
--impact high` corrects one or several positions against a single read of that list, put the
result in front of the user, and re-list to confirm. Only then run
`tools/wikitool version release`, which strips the `-beta.N` suffix and closes the entry - see
its row in `tools/CONTRACT.md`. That is also the point to pass a summarising `--title` if the
candidate collected several bump titles along the way; without one, the heading simply keeps
whichever bump last set it.
8. **Write the entry's body.** `bump` leaves it empty on purpose. A boundary-crossing entry
earns a paragraph that says *why this is breaking* - it is the one thing a future reader
cannot reconstruct from the diff, and it is what the next session in this position will read
instead of guessing.
8. **Write the entry's prose - the summary, and each bump's own changeset.** `bump` leaves both
empty on purpose. The **summary** is a short paragraph (a few sentences) written once, at
release time, right below the graded bump list: what this release is about, and why, for a
reader who will not read the changesets underneath. `version release` refuses to close an
entry that collected two or more bumps and has no summary - a one-bump entry is exempt, since
there the bump's changeset already reads as one. Each **changeset**, under its own
`### <bump title>` heading, is a few sentences on what changed and why - it is the one thing a
future reader cannot reconstruct from the diff, but it is not the place for the full rationale
of a decision; that belongs in the issue tracker or the commit history, and a changeset that
is growing past a paragraph or two is a sign it belongs there instead.
