File name doesn’t necessarily include the whole path. The last 16 characters of CHANGELOG.md is the full file name.

If we interpret it that way, that also explains why the filepathwalk solution solves the problem.

But if it’s really based on the last 16 characters of just the file name, not the whole path, then it feels like this problem should be a lot more common. At least in monorepos.

yes, this makes sense, thanks for pointing it out, silly confusion on my part
