/q update script to inspect the release notes on the GitHub projects as well. For example, codex has release notes in their repo.

Issue Analysis Complete ✅

I've identified and fixed the npm URL backtick issue in the cli-version-checker workflow.

Problem Identified

The workflow template at lines 100-122 was using @package-name as a placeholder example, which caused the AI to interpret package names as code that needed backtick formatting. This resulted in malformed URLs like:

(redacted)

Solution Applied

Created a pull request with the following fixes:

1. Enhanced URL Formatting Rules: Added explicit CORRECT/INCORRECT examples to make it crystal clear:

   • ✅ CORRECT: `(redacted)
   • ❌ INCORRECT: `(redacted)

2. Updated Template Placeholder: Changed from @package-name to package-name-here to avoid confusion with scoped npm packages

3. Clearer Guidance: Added explicit instruction that "Package names should be part of the URL, not formatted as code"

Validation

✅ Workflow compiles successfully with no errors or warnings
✅ Changes are minimal and surgical - only affecting the template section
✅ Pull request created with detailed documentation

The fix ensures future issues created by the cli-version-checker workflow will have properly formatted npm URLs without backticks.

Q Mission Complete 🎯

I've analyzed the CLI version checker workflow and created a pull request to enhance it with GitHub release notes inspection, as requested.

What I Found

The current workflow only fetches version numbers from NPM, but several of our CLI tools have rich release notes on GitHub:

• Codex: ✅ Public release notes at https://github.com/openai/codex/releases
• GitHub MCP Server: ✅ Public release notes at https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/releases
• Copilot CLI: ⚠️ Repository exists but may be private at https://github.com/github/copilot-cli
• Claude Code: ❌ No public GitHub repository

What I Changed

Enhanced the cli-version-checker.md workflow to:

1. Fetch GitHub release notes for Codex and GitHub MCP Server
2. Parse release highlights to understand key changes
3. Extract merged PR lists with direct links for context
4. Include structured information in generated issues
5. Maintain fallback for tools without public releases (Claude Code, private repos)

Example Improvement

Before (NPM only):

Version: 0.55.0 → 0.56.0
Changes: Unknown (no public changelog)

After (with GitHub release notes):

Version: 0.55.0 → 0.56.0

Highlights:
- Introducing GPT-5-Codex-Mini — a compact and cost-efficient model

Merged PRs:
- #6211: Fix deprecation message link
- #6212: Export.rs v2 namespace and notifications
- #6230: Fix nix build
... (30+ PRs with full context)

Pull Request Created

I've created a pull request with these enhancements. The workflow will now automatically fetch and include GitHub release notes when checking for version updates, providing much better visibility into what's changing with each release.

The workflow compiles successfully and is ready for review and merge.
