| This repository automatically pushes changes to rules to the [w3c/wcag-act-rules](https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act-rules/) repository. There is an "Approve rule" action available which can be triggered manually by an ACT Task Force facilitator, which will set a proposed rule to "approved". | ||

| Rule updates require an explicit changelog when using the approval script. Pass entries with repeated `--change "..."` flags, with `--changesFile path.yaml` containing a YAML list of strings, or with both. First-time approvals do not require a changelog. |
