Change Tracking Write Entry
Composes a CHANGELOG entry (or the documented Changelog skip trailer) for a PR. Use when about to commit, open a PR, or finalize a change to user-visible content. Use also when about to claim a change does not need an entry, since the skip trailer is the only sanctioned silence. The entry's required parts (date-and-version header, structured Keep a Changelog sections, file references as markdown links, the "why" not just the "what", verification evidence, phase context) are walked step by step so an entry that would fail the link-coverage gate, the version-monotonicity audit, or the D1 delta gate is caught at the draft stage rather than at CI.
