Firefly III's feed is automated develop nightlies: boilerplate builds, no real changelog

Current state
Firefly III is a self-hosted personal finance manager. The crawled feed is its automated develop-branch pre-release stream — several boilerplate 'development release' tags per day, each explicitly omitting a changelog and warning the build may be unstable. None of these entries represent a shipped, user-facing change.
Where it's heading
The only thing visible is build activity: the develop branch is tagged multiple times a day, which signals active work but carries no content to characterize. With every entry stating the changelog is not included, there is no directional read to make. This is crawl noise from rolling develop tags rather than product movement.
Prediction
These pre-releases carry no changelog, so no product prediction is supported. The next tagged stable release is where real signal will appear; ideally the crawler would filter out develop-branch nightly tags.
