Summary
When the branch name contains special characters, the hyperlink "Click here if you're a maintainer who wants to add a changeset to this PR" results in a "Page not found" error on GitHub.
Troubleshooting
We use branch names that include the issue number, like this: (feature/#39). However, when using the changeset-bot to generate a changeset.md, it fails because GitHub's URL handling with special characters leads to a "Page not found" error.
| ❌ feature/#39 |
✅ feature/%2339 |

How about converting the branch name (context.payload.pull_request.head.ref) using encodeURIComponent? This will ensure that GitHub correctly recognizes it!
encodeURIComponent("feature/#39") // 'feature%2F%2339'
