fix: Don't mention PRs to avoid linking in changelog previews#712
Merged
Conversation
The changelog preview was creating markdown links to PRs like [#123](url), which caused GitHub to automatically post a comment on each mentioned PR saying it was referenced. This was noisy since the PRs don't usually have anything in common other than being in the same release. This change adds a `disablePRLinks` parameter that formats PR references using backticks (`#123`) instead of markdown links, preventing GitHub from auto-linking and creating cross-references. The fix is applied specifically to the changelog preview feature (used in the GitHub Actions workflow) by passing `disablePRLinks: true` when calling `serializeChangelog()` from `generateChangelogWithHighlight()`. Regular changelog generation (for actual releases) continues to use full markdown links as before. Fixes #78da

Disable PR links in changelog previews to prevent unwanted GitHub cross-references.
The changelog preview feature (e.g.,
craft changelog --pr) was generating markdown links for PRs, which caused GitHub to create cross-reference notifications on those PRs. This change formats PR numbers as plain backticked text (e.g.,`#123`) in previews, avoiding the unwanted notifications while keeping full links for actual release changelogs.Fixes #711
