+# GPT Prompt
+
+This is a prompt for a GPT model to generate a commit message based on the changes made in the code.
+
+```plaintext
+# System
+You are a highly precise Git commit message generator for changelog-driven repositories.  
+Your only task is to read the provided multi-file git diff and generate **one and only one** Conventional Commit message that strictly complies with the rules below.
+
+# Language
+You MUST write the entire message in English only.
+
+# Commit Rules
+
+1. Use exactly one of the following lowercase types:  
+   feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, revert
+
+2. Optionally add a `(<scope>)` after the type:  
+   • Use a short lowercase identifier (e.g., directory, module, file group)  
+   • Omit if no dominant scope exists
+
+3. Follow this structure:  
+   `type(scope): summary`  
+   • The summary must be in imperative mood  
+   • Max 72 characters  
+   • No trailing period  
+   • Must not contain emojis or casing deviations
+
+4. If the body is needed:
+   • Add exactly one blank line after the subject
+   • Use `- ` bullet points
+   • Each line must be ≤ 72 characters
+   • Explain what was changed and (if shown in the diff) why
+
+5. Do NOT include:
+   • `BREAKING CHANGE:` or any `!` markers
+   • PR numbers, issue IDs, author names, ticket references
+   • Markdown formatting, emojis, or code blocks
+
+6. The following `chore(...)` patterns MUST be ignored and skipped from changelogs:  
+   chore(changelog), chore(version), chore(release): prepare for, chore(deps), chore(pr), chore(pull)
+
+7. If the commit body contains the word `security`, it will be classified as security-relevant (🛡️), regardless of type.
+
+8. Output MUST consist only of the final commit message, as plain text.  
+   No extra prose, no explanation, no formatting, no examples.
+
+# Now, read the diff and generate the message.
+Output only the valid Conventional Commit message, exactly.

+# 📦 HOWTO: Release erstellen mit Auto-Changelog-Workflow
+
+Dieses Repository nutzt einen automatisierten CI/CD-Workflow zur **Versionsverwaltung, Changelog-Generierung und Release-Erstellung**.  
+Der gesamte Prozess ist deklarativ und läuft automatisch – ausgelöst durch Änderungen an einer Datei: `VERSION`.
+
+---
+
+## 🧭 Was passiert automatisch?
+
+Sobald Änderungen in `main` landen, prüft der Workflow:
+
+- 🔍 **Hat sich die Datei `VERSION` geändert?**
+  - ❌ **Nein** → es wird nur das `CHANGELOG.md` aktualisiert (unreleased Abschnitt)
+  - ✅ **Ja** → es wird:
+    - ein vollständiger Changelog für diese Version erzeugt
+    - ein Git-Tag `vX.Y.Z` erstellt
+    - ein Release in Gitea veröffentlicht (inkl. Beschreibung aus dem Changelog)
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Wie erzeuge ich ein Release?
+
+### 1. Erhöhe die Version in der Datei `VERSION`
+
+Beispiel:
+
+```txt
+1.2.3
+```
+
+> Diese Datei muss **als eigene Commit-Änderung** erfolgen – idealerweise als letzter Commit in einem PR.
+> Die Commit-Nachricht sollte mit `chore(version)` beginnen, damit dieser nicht im Changelog auftaucht.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Mergen in `main`
+
+Sobald `main` den Commit mit neuer `VERSION` enthält, wird automatisch:
+
+- das `CHANGELOG.md` regeneriert und committed
+- der neue Git-Tag erstellt (`v1.2.3`)
+- ein Gitea Release mit genau diesem Changelog erzeugt
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Hinweis zu Tokens & Webhooks
+
+Damit das Release auch korrekt weitere Workflows auslösen kann (z. B. über `on: release`), ist **ein Personal Access Token notwendig**.
+
+### 🔐 Secret: `RELEASE_PUBLISH_TOKEN`
+
+> Lege ein Repository-Secret mit diesem Namen an.  
+> Es sollte ein **Gitea Personal Access Token** mit folgenden Berechtigungen sein:
+
+- `write:repo`
+- `write:release`
+- idealerweise: keine Ablaufzeit
+
+Wird dieser Token **nicht** gesetzt, fällt der Workflow auf `ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN` zurück, aber:
+- Release wird trotzdem erstellt
+- **⚠️ andere Workflows, die auf `release.published` reagieren, könnten nicht getriggert werden**
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Debugging-Tipps
+
+- Stelle sicher, dass `VERSION` exakt **eine gültige neue semver-Version** enthält
+- Achte auf den Commit-Log: Changelog-Commits sind mit `chore(changelog):` gekennzeichnet
+- Verwende nur `main` als Trigger-Zweig
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Erweiterung
+
+In `upload-assets.yml` kannst du beliebige Build-Artefakte automatisch an das Release anhängen, sobald es veröffentlicht ist.
+
+Dafür:
+- liegt das Script `.gitea/scripts/get-release-id.sh`
+- sowie `.gitea/scripts/upload-asset.sh` bereit
+
+Mehr dazu in der Datei: `.gitea/workflows/upload-assets.yml`
+
+---
+
+## 🧘 Best Practice
+
+- Changelog-Generierung nie manuell ausführen
+- Nur `VERSION` ändern, um ein neues Release auszulösen
+- Auf `CHANGELOG.md` nie direkt committen
+- Release-Daten niemals per Hand in Gitea pflegen
+
+📎 Alles wird versioniert, automatisiert und reproduzierbar erzeugt.
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Commit-Gruppierung & Changelog-Erzeugung
+
+Der Changelog wird auf Basis definierter **Commit-Gruppen** erzeugt.  
+Diese Regeln sind in `cliff.toml` unter `commit_parsers` konfiguriert.
+
+| Prefix / Muster                | Gruppe                    | Beschreibung                                     |
+|-------------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| `feat:`                       | 🚀 Features               | Neue Funktionalität                              |
+| `fix:`                        | 🐛 Bug Fixes              | Fehlerbehebungen                                 |
+| `doc:`                        | 📚 Documentation          | Änderungen an Doku, Readmes etc.                 |
+| `perf:`                       | ⚡ Performance             | Leistungsverbesserungen                          |
+| `refactor:`                   | 🚜 Refactor               | Reorganisation ohne Verhaltensänderung           |
+| `style:`                      | 🎨 Styling                | Formatierung, Whitespaces, Code-Style            |
+| `test:`                       | 🧪 Testing                | Neue oder angepasste Tests                       |
+| `ci:` oder `chore:` (ohne Spezifizierung) | ⚙️ Miscellaneous Tasks | CI-Änderungen, Aufgaben, Wartung etc.            |
+| `chore(changelog)`, `chore(version)`, `chore(release): prepare for`, `chore(deps...)`, `chore(pr)`, `chore(pull)` | *(ignoriert)* | Diese Commits werden im Changelog **ausgelassen** |
+| Commit-Body enthält `security` | 🛡️ Security              | Sicherheitsrelevante Änderungen                  |
+| `revert:`                     | ◀️ Revert                | Rückgängig gemachte Commits                      |
+| alles andere                  | 💼 Other                 | Fallback für nicht erkannte Formate              |
+
+### ✍️ Beispiel:
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "feat: add login endpoint"
+git commit -m "fix: prevent crash on null input"
+git commit -m "chore(version): bump to 1.2.3"
+```
+
+> Nur die ersten beiden erscheinen im Changelog – der dritte wird **automatisch übersprungen**.
+
+---
+
+## 🧾 Umgang mit `CHANGELOG.md` beim Mergen und Releasen
+
+Wenn du automatisiert einen Changelog mit `git-cliff` erzeugst, ist `CHANGELOG.md` ein **generiertes Artefakt** – und kein handgepflegter Quelltext.
+
+Beim Mergen von Feature-Branches in `main` kann es deshalb zu **unnötigen Konflikten** in dieser Datei kommen, obwohl der Inhalt später sowieso neu erzeugt wird.
+
+---
+
+## 🧼 Umgang mit `CHANGELOG.md` in Feature-Branches
+
+Wenn du mit **Feature-Branches** arbeitest, wird `CHANGELOG.md` dort oft automatisch erzeugt.
+Das kann beim späteren Merge in `main` zu **unnötigen Merge-Konflikten** führen.
+
+### ✅ Empfohlene Vorgehensweise
+
+**Bevor du den Branch mit `main` zusammenführst** (Merge oder Cherry-Pick):
+
+```bash
+git rm CHANGELOG.md
+git commit -m "chore(changelog): remove generated CHANGELOG.md before merge"
+git push
+```
+
+Dadurch:
+
+* verhinderst du Merge-Konflikte mit `CHANGELOG.md`
+* wird die Datei bei Feature-Branches nicht mehr automatisch erzeugt
+* bleibt deine Historie sauber und konfliktfrei
+
+> 💡 Der Workflow erzeugt `CHANGELOG.md` automatisch **nur**, wenn:
+>
+> * die Datei schon vorhanden ist **oder**
+> * der Branch `main` heißt
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Merge-Konflikte verhindern mit `.gitattributes`
+
+Damit Git bei Konflikten in `CHANGELOG.md` **automatisch deine Version bevorzugt**, kannst du folgende Zeile in die Datei `.gitattributes` aufnehmen:
+
+```gitattributes
+CHANGELOG.md merge=ours
+```
+
+Das bedeutet:
+
+* Beim Merge wird die Version aus dem aktuellen Branch (`ours`) behalten
+* Änderungen aus dem Ziel-Branch (`theirs`) werden verworfen
+
+### ✅ So verwendest du es richtig:
+
+1. **Füge die Regel in `main` hinzu**:
+
+```bash
+echo "CHANGELOG.md merge=ours" >> .gitattributes
+git add .gitattributes
+git commit -m "chore(git): prevent merge conflicts in CHANGELOG.md"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+2. **Hole sie in deinen Feature-Branch**:
+
+```bash
+git checkout feature/xyz
+git rebase origin/main
+```
+
+3. **Ab sofort werden Konflikte in `CHANGELOG.md` automatisch aufgelöst** – lokal.
+
+> ⚠️ Hinweis: Plattformen wie **Gitea, GitHub oder GitLab ignorieren `.gitattributes` beim Merge über die Web-Oberfläche**.
+> Führe Merges daher **lokal** durch, wenn du Konflikte verhindern willst.
