When writing YAML string fields intended for one-line or sentence-like messages, prefer folded block scalars (`>`) so embedded newlines render as spaces. Use literal block scalars (`|`) only when you explicitly need to preserve line breaks. Example: ```yaml # Fold newlines into spaces (recommended for sentence-style messages) message: > Fix TCP error with updated restriction handling # Preserve line breaks exactly message: | Fix TCP error with updated restriction handling ``` If you see changelog entries using `|` where the message should read as a single paragraph, switch to `>` to match the intended formatting.
