🔍 Review Findings

🔴 P0 — Version File Out of Sync

cli/version.txt is bumped to 1.23.15, but pkg/azdext/version.go still has "1.24.0-beta.1". Per AGENTS.md, the script eng/scripts/Update-CliVersion.ps1 is supposed to update both files together to keep them in sync. This PR should either:

• Also update pkg/azdext/version.go, or
• Use the Update-CliVersion.ps1 script to make the change

File: cli/azd/pkg/azdext/version.go:7 — const Version = "1.24.0-beta.1" needs to become "1.23.15"

Update: I believe Copilot may have already addressed this in a recent commit — please verify the latest HEAD has version.go in sync.

🟡 P1 — Stale Empty Sections in Existing Entries

Not introduced by this PR, but worth noting: prior releases (1.23.14, 1.23.13) have empty ### Breaking Changes sections that were never cleaned up. The skill fix in this PR would prevent this going forward — good improvement.

✅ Everything Else Looks Good

• Changelog entry format ([[#NNNN]] links) matches existing convention ✓
• Entries are well-written, accurate to the referenced PRs ✓
• Correct placement between the unreleased section and 1.23.14 ✓
• All four categories populated with entries ✓
• SKILL.md improvement is clear and appropriate ✓

Thanks for the review @kristenwomack!

• P0 version.go — fixed, bumped to 1.23.15. Also updated the changelog skill so it catches this going forward (PR fix changelog skill to include azdext version.go #7656).
• P1 stale empty sections — agreed, pre-existing. The skill fix in this PR prevents it for new releases.
• Python hooks wording — fixed, clarified venv only applies when requirements.txt/pyproject.toml is present.

Changelog entries look good - all 14 entries are well-written, correctly categorized, and link to the right PRs. Version bump to 1.23.15 is consistent. SKILL.md improvement to be more explicit about stripping empty category sections is a nice fix.
