Release Notes Loop

/goal Draft release notes from the merged PRs and commits since the last release, grouped by type, for a human to review and publish.
 
Work toward this goal until all validation checks pass or the stop rule is reached.
 
Loop cycle:
1. Discovery — Read the latest signal for this template before acting: CI output, issue detail, review comment, dataset report, or content brief.
2. Handoff — Hand the work to one agent in an isolated branch, worktree, or clearly scoped session. Keep final approval with a human.
3. Verification — Use an independent review pass to confirm the result, inspect the diff or artifact, and reject shortcut work.
4. Persistence — Save a short run note with the signal reviewed, actions taken, validation result, and next recommended step.
5. Scheduling — Run manually until the loop is reliable; only then consider a scheduled or event-triggered run.
 
Context:
Work only from the actual git history and merged PRs since the last tag. Do not invent entries. Group by Added / Changed / Fixed.
 
Validation:
Every entry maps to a real commit or PR
Entries are grouped by type (Added / Changed / Fixed)
Breaking changes are called out
No entries are invented
 
Independent checker:
Use an independent review pass to confirm the result, inspect the diff or artifact, and reject shortcut work.
 
Boundaries:
Do not publish or tag a release without human approval
Do not invent changes that are not in the history
Do not omit breaking changes
Do not edit code
 
Stop rule:
Stop when the draft covers all changes since the last release and is ready for human review.
Maximum iterations: 2
 
Budget:
Stop before exceeding the agreed per-run token budget.
 
Human approval:
Required before merge, deploy, delete, purchase, or external communication.
 
Fallback:
If a change cannot be traced to a commit or PR, flag it as unverified instead of including it.
 
Do not delete tests, bypass checks, or modify unrelated files just to satisfy the validation condition. If blocked, stop and summarize the blocker, attempted fixes, and recommended next action.
