• Add (no-changelog) suffix to exclude from changelog

Steps

1. Check current state:

   git status
   git diff --stat
   git log origin/master..HEAD --oneline
   

2. Analyze changes to determine:

   • Type: What kind of change is this?
   • Scope: Which package/area is affected?
   • Summary: What does the change do?

3. Push branch if needed:

   git push -u origin HEAD
   

4. Create PR using gh CLI with the template from .github/pull_request_template.md:

   gh pr create --draft --title "<type>(<scope>): <summary>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
   ## Summary
   
   <Describe what the PR does and how to test. Photos and videos are recommended.>
   
   ## Related Linear tickets, Github issues, and Community forum posts
   
   <!-- Link to Linear ticket: https://linear.app/n8n/issue/[TICKET-ID] -->
   <!-- Use "closes #<issue-number>", "fixes #<issue-number>", or "resolves #<issue-number>" to automatically close issues -->

PR Body Guidelines

Based on .github/pull_request_template.md:

Checklist

All items should be addressed before merging:
