release-and-changelog

Use when cutting a release, bumping a version, or writing release notes. Activate for keywords like "release", "version bump", "changelog", "release notes", "tag", "publish", "ship a release", "v1.x", "v2.x". Enforces version hygiene: SemVer respect, changelog discipline, atomic commits, tagged release. Always reflect the actual diff in the changelog - — never write notes from memory or marketing copy.
