## 2026-06-09 — Root CHANGELOG Permission Issue

Problem: CHANGELOG.md could not be read by the normal user.

Cause: CHANGELOG.md was owned by root and had 600 permissions.

Fix:
sudo chown kenpat:kenpat CHANGELOG.md
chmod 644 CHANGELOG.md

## 2026-06-09 — Repo Folder Ownership Issue

Problem: The repo root folder was owned by root, which prevented creating RUNBOOK.md.

Fix:
sudo chown -R kenpat:kenpat /opt/kitestacks-autosync/kitestacks-homelab

## 2026-06-09 — Autosync Changelog Pollution

Problem: CHANGELOG.md contains noisy autosync entries from live app/database files.

Examples: apps/authentik/postgres, apps/forgejo/data, apps/grafana/data, journal files, pg_wal files.

Next step: Review autosync excludes so database/session/cache/journal files are not committed or added to changelogs.
