Context (from #228)

With the fix for issue #228, CI now runs generate-changelog before every Play Store deploy, regenerating assets/changelog.txt from the latest git history. The committed version of assets/changelog.txt is therefore always stale relative to what is actually shipped.

Question

Should assets/changelog.txt be added to .gitignore (and removed from git tracking) since CI always regenerates it?

Options

  1. Keep it committed (current approach): Harmless but the committed file never reflects what was shipped. Developers running the app locally without running generate-changelog first will see an outdated changelog.
  2. Gitignore it and always generate: Removes stale artefact from the repo. Requires generate-changelog to be run before any local build that uses the changelog. The setup task already includes generate-changelog as a dep, so local dev is covered.
  3. Keep it committed but add a comment/note: Document that CI regenerates it so future maintainers understand the discrepancy.

Already done. assets/changelog.txt is already in .gitignore (line 20) and not tracked in git (git ls-files assets/changelog.txt returns nothing). CI also excludes it from trigger paths (!assets/changelog.txt). Nothing to change. Closing as resolved.
