Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Fable 5.1 e7fb14bed0 The SPDX gate fails on a file it cannot read instead of skipping it, and the changelog says licence
A silent skip would let an unmarked file through, which is the one thing the test exists to
catch. The two new changelog lines now read in the file's own voice, and a docstring in the
logging tests is wrapped under the line limit.
