Changelog Release Notes

Overview

Turn repository evidence into concise release notes. Derive changelog content from version files, git history, diffs, migrations, API/docs changes, and existing changelog structure instead of guessing from memory.

Workflow

1. Confirm the target release. Read VERSION or the user-provided version number. If the repo already has a release bump commit or release metadata, use that to confirm the version.

2. Read the current changelog format first. Open existing CHANGELOG* files before drafting anything. Match the established section order, heading style, date format, language coverage, and level of detail.
