CHANGELOG.md

@@ -87,6 +87,7 @@ This changelog is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.
 - Added workflow to prevent assigning intermediate issues to contributors without prior Good First Issue completion (#1143).
 - Added `Client.from_env()` and network-specific factory methods (e.g., `Client.for_testnet()`) to simplify client initialization and reduce boilerplate. [[#1251](https://github.com/hiero-ledger/hiero-sdk-python/issues/1251)]
 - Improved unit test coverage for `TransactionId` class, covering parsing logic, hashing, and scheduled transactions.
+- Chained Good First Issue assignment with mentor assignment to bypass GitHub's anti-recursion protection - mentor assignment now occurs immediately after successful user assignment in the same workflow execution. (#1369)
 
 ### Changed
 - Added global review instructions to CodeRabbit configuration to limit reviews to issue/PR scope and prevent scope creep [#1373]
