 - Mention any required documentation changes in the description of your pull request.
 - If adding or updating an RPC endpoint, ensure the change is documented in the
   OpenAPI spec: [`./docs/rpc/openapi.yaml`](./docs/rpc/openapi.yaml).
 - If your code adds or modifies any major features (struct, trait,
   test, module, function, etc.), each should be documented according
   to our [coding guidelines](#Coding-Guidelines).

+On the other hand, changes that do not need to be reflected in the Changelog include code refactoring, writing tests, or automating processes, as these do not directly affect the user experience.
