A recent bug in Claude Code's CLI, caused by a changelog format change, highlights the challenges of rapid AI-assisted development. As release velocities increase, existing systems struggle to keep up, leading to potential drift between components and insufficient oversight on changes. Automation tools are needed to manage this new pace effectively and prevent issues like "changelog drift."
