Changelog entry for the patch release covering #40 (persistent_facts ships empty).

The Release workflow reads ## v<version> out of CHANGELOG.md and hard-fails without a matching section, so this has to land before dispatching release.yaml -f bump=patch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added v0.3.1 release notes.
    • Documented updated context behavior: persistent facts now start empty, and project context is maintained through AGENTS.md.
    • Documented optional configuration for users who continue using project-context.md.

Walkthrough

The changelog adds v0.3.1 notes for empty persistent_facts, the default use of AGENTS.md, and optional TOML configuration for project-context.md.

Adds v0.3.1 notes describing the updated persistent_facts defaults and optional project-context.md loading through TOML overrides.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 20ca2

This changelog-only change has no production behavior impact; the remaining risk is limited to correcting two minor wording inaccuracies about defaults and AGENTS.md before or after merge. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit reads the changelog bright,
New context rules are clear and light.

### Fixes

- **Skills no longer load `project-context.md` by default** (#40). All ten `customize.toml` files shipped with `persistent_facts = ["file:{project-root}/**/project-context.md"]` pre-seeded, which made loading that file an opt-out default baked into every skill rather than a customization you choose. `persistent_facts` is a user-customization surface, so it now ships as an empty array in all ten.

Replace “opt-out default” with “default-on behavior”.

persistent_facts arrays append across base, team, and user TOML layers. A user cannot remove the seeded entry by setting an empty array in an override. The previous behavior was default-on without a normal opt-out through this customization surface.

Proposed wording
-  ... an opt-out default baked into every skill rather than a customization you choose.
+  ... a default-on behavior baked into every skill rather than an opt-in customization.

This also corrects an assumption that no longer held: `bmad-project-context` does not produce a `project-context.md` at all. It writes a verified block into the repository's `AGENTS.md` and treats a `project-context.md` as a legacy artifact from the retired skills. The seeded default named a file that the current tooling never creates.

Repository-wide context belongs in `AGENTS.md`, which every skill already sees. `persistent_facts` is for context that only one skill needs, loaded when that skill runs instead of carried as constant memory. If you keep a `project-context.md` and want a skill to read it, add the entry to your team or user override TOML:

Correct the unsupported AGENTS.md claim and wording.

  • The ten customize.toml files use persistent_facts = [].
  • This repository has no AGENTS.md, and no skill documents loading it. Remove “which every skill already sees” or document the runtime mechanism.
  • Replace “opt-out default” with “pre-seeded default” because array overrides append values and do not provide a normal removal path.
