Pull request overview

Migrates the repo’s release/versioning workflow away from Lerna toward Changesets, adds a GitHub Actions release pipeline intended for trusted publishing, and reduces repo-wide notification/automation by removing CODEOWNERS and commitlint enforcement.

Add a Changesets-based GitHub Actions release workflow (OIDC permissions) and Changesets configuration + custom changelog generator.

+The `version` command only output versions right now.


This changeset declares a major release and documents a CLI behavior change (version command output), but this PR only changes release tooling. Keeping it will create incorrect release notes and an unintended major bump. Please remove it or rewrite to match real changes included here.

Suggested change

The `version` command only output versions right now.

"webpack-cli": patch

Internal: update release tooling configuration (no changes to CLI behavior).

This changeset declares a patch release ('Use graceful shutdown when file system cache is enabled.'), but this PR doesn't change runtime behavior. Keeping it will trigger an unintended publish and misleading changelog entry. Please remove it or replace it with an accurate changeset for the packages actually affected.

.github/CONTRIBUTING.md

 ## Documentation

 webpack is feature rich and documentation is a time sink. We
 greatly appreciate any time spent fixing typos or clarifying sections in the
 documentation.

-## Releasing
-
-Run `npm run publish:monorepo` to build all packages and bump versions, this will then get published on npm.
-
 ## Join the development

 - Before you join development, please set up the project on your local machine, run it and go through the application completely. Use any command you can find and see what it does. Explore.


The contributor docs no longer mention how releases are performed, but this PR introduces a new Changesets-based release workflow. Please add an updated "Releasing" section (and/or a short note on creating changesets) so maintainers/contributors know how to cut releases going forward.

+      suffix = `(${users ? `by ${users} ` : ""}in ${links.pull || links.commit})`;
+    }
+
+    return `\n\n- ${firstLine} ${suffix}\n${futureLines.map((l) => `  ${l}`).join("\n")}`;


getReleaseLine always inserts a space before ${suffix}; when suffix is empty this leaves a trailing space in the generated changelog bullet. Consider only adding the separator space when suffix is non-empty to keep generated changelogs stable/clean.

Suggested change

return `\n\n- ${firstLine} ${suffix}\n${futureLines.map((l) => ` ${l}`).join("\n")}`;

const suffixWithSeparator = suffix ? ` ${suffix}` : "";

return `\n\n- ${firstLine}${suffixWithSeparator}\n${futureLines.map((l) => ` ${l}`).join("\n")}`;

+Removed deprecated API, no action required unless you use `import cli from "webpack-cli";/`const cli = require("webpack-cli")`.


This changeset declares a major release and describes removing a deprecated API, but this PR only changes repo tooling/CI. Keeping this file will trigger an unintended major bump and incorrect release notes. Please delete it or rewrite it to describe a real user-facing change included in this PR. Also the inline code in the summary looks malformed (..."; /), which will render incorrectly in the changelog.

Suggested change

Removed deprecated API, no action required unless you use `import cli from "webpack-cli";/`const cli = require("webpack-cli")`.

"webpack-cli": patch

+Use dynamic import to load `webpack.config.js`, fallback to interpret only when configuration can't be load by dynamic import. Using dynamic imports allows you to take advantage of Node.js's built-in TypeScript support.


This changeset declares a major release and documents config loading behavior changes (dynamic import vs interpret), but this PR doesn't touch that logic. Keeping it will create incorrect release notes and an unintended major bump. Please remove it or rewrite to match real changes included here.

Suggested change

Use dynamic import to load `webpack.config.js`, fallback to interpret only when configuration can't be load by dynamic import. Using dynamic imports allows you to take advantage of Node.js's built-in TypeScript support.

This PR removes commitlint tooling (config, husky hook, and PR workflow) in addition to migrating from Lerna to Changesets, but the PR description doesn't mention that scope change. Please either update the PR description to include the commitlint removal, or keep the commitlint checks if they are still desired for this repo.

This changeset declares a major release for webpack-cli (Node.js >=20.9.0), but this PR doesn't change runtime requirements. Leaving it will force an unintended major version bump. Please remove it or replace with a changeset that matches actual package changes in this PR.
