The commit updates the documentation for the Phoenix framework's channels, specifically addressing confusion arising from references to an outdated repository that does not utilize the params function. The author notes that Phoenix's behavior regarding message delivery has changed over time, and aims to clarify this in the documentation. To enhance understanding, the commit includes a straightforward example demonstrating how to implement a client-side mechanism for tracking the last seen message, which allows clients to catch up on missed messages after reconnecting.

In the modified section of channels.md, the commit elaborates on the at-most-once message delivery strategy employed by Phoenix and introduces a practical example. This example shows how clients can send their last_seen_id as part of the channel parameters, enabling the server to provide missed messages upon reconnection. The example includes both client-side JavaScript and server-side Elixir code, illustrating how to handle message fetching and rendering effectively. Overall, the changes aim to improve clarity and usability of the documentation for developers working with Phoenix channels.

This commit updates the dependency for the GitHub Action stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action from version 5.2.0 to 6.0.1. The change is part of a routine maintenance effort to ensure that the project utilizes the latest version of this action, which is responsible for automatically committing changes to a Git repository. The update is classified as a major version change, as indicated by the semantic versioning (semver) update type.

In the modified workflow file .github/workflows/assets.yml, the specific line that references the previous version of the action has been updated to point to the new version. This change includes minor modifications in the code, specifically in the section where the action is invoked to push updated assets with a commit message. The commit was signed off by the dependabot bot, indicating it was likely generated automatically as part of a dependency management process.
