Reality Patch Notes — Patch-Notes Summarizer & Composer

Cut through release-note fog. Two tiny tools:

• Summarizer: Pulls breaking changes, new defaults, flags to flip, plus a quick migration/rollback checklist you can actually run.
• Composer: Paste a messy changelog or fetch a URL → get clean Markdown buckets you can ship (and JSON for pipelines).

Why use this

Because “we’ll skim it later” turns into outages. This rips signal from noise and hands you the decision points.

Time: 60–90s • Best for: PMs, devs, ops • Tip: paste a version range (vX→vY) to catch deprecations you skipped.

What this does

Summarizer

• Highlights breaking changes, new defaults, flags/toggles, and a short migration/rollback checklist.

Composer

• Turns long changelogs or blog posts into skimmable buckets:
  Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed, Deprecated, Known issues, Open questions, Highlights.
• Copy as Markdown or export JSON.

---

Quick start

1. Fetch a URL or paste raw release notes.
2. Click Summarize (for decisions) or Generate (for buckets).
3. Copy Markdown into PRs/notes, or Export JSON for your docs pipeline.

---

Buckets, at a glance

• Added — new stuff, launches, newly supported flags
• Changed — updates, tweaks, reworks, refactors
• Fixed — bugs squashed, regressions addressed
• Removed / Deprecated — gone now or going soon
• Known issues — admitted limits/bugs
• Open questions — TBDs, “needs investigation”
• Highlights — imperative takeaways (“Use/Disable/Set/Stop…”) + strong headings that don’t fit other buckets

---

Pro tips

• Give it signal: use the real changelog, not the marketing blog.
• Add version context like v1.8 → v1.10 to surface missed deprecations.
• Short input? It’ll still draft sane bullets—edit in place after you paste to Markdown.

---

Export & handoff

• Markdown → PR descriptions, internal notes, customer updates.
• JSON → pipe to docs automation or release dashboards.

---

Nerd notes

• Headings are strong signals; near-duplicate lines de-duped fuzzily.
• Fetcher has SSRF guards, a small rate-limit, and a 10-minute cache. Very large pages are truncated.
