+# PR Validation Workflows
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+### Synchronization Requirements
+- **CRITICAL**: Changes to validation logic MUST be reflected in CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md).  CONTRIBUTING.md and enforcement workflows should be kept in sync.
+- Update both enforcement (workflows) AND documentation (CONTRIBUTING.md) together
+- Consider impact on existing open PRs when changing validation rules
+
+### GitHub API Limitations  
+- `pull_request_target` required for write permissions to post reviews
+- 5-second delay before dismissing reviews to avoid race conditions
+- Bot review detection relies on `user.type === 'Bot'`
+
+### Regex Pattern Gotchas
+- Case sensitivity matters: `Revert` vs `revert`
+- Escaping required for special characters in descriptions
+- JavaScript regex syntax differs from other tools
+
+### Workflow Permissions
+- `pr-title-check.yml` needs `pull-requests: write` for reviews
+- `changelog.yml` uses default permissions (read-only)

 We enforce that each PR updates CHANGELOG.md or signals that the change doesn't need it.
 If the PR affects users (e.g., new feature, bug fix, system requirements change), update the CHANGELOG.md and add details to the UNRELEASED section.
 If the change does not require a CHANGELOG.md entry, do one of the following:
-- Add `[skip changelog]` to the PR title
+- Add `[skip changelog]` to the PR description
 - Add the label `skip/changelog` to the PR
