Solid

Draft or update user-focused GitHub Release Notes from verified tags, commits, pull requests, existing releases, and supplied changelog baselines. Use when preparing prerelease or stable release notes, turning GitHub's generated What's Changed list into a curated narrative, documenting upgrades or breaking changes, or producing a major-version migration summary. Do not use merely to validate a repository changelog fragment.
