ci(release): show meaningful release notes on publish#4
Merged
Conversation
The GitHub Release body only said "See CHANGELOG.md for details", forcing readers to open the changelog to learn what shipped. - Add a "Prepare release notes" step that extracts the newest CHANGELOG section (grouped Features/Bug Fixes) into RELEASE_NOTES.md alongside the install command. - Replace the deprecated actions/create-release@v1 with softprops/action-gh-release@v2. - Enable generate_release_notes so GitHub appends "What's Changed" (with PR links), "New Contributors", and the full changelog comparison below the summary.

Summary
The GitHub Release body only said "See CHANGELOG.md for details", forcing readers to open the changelog to find out what shipped. This makes the release notes self-describing.
Changes
CHANGELOG.mdsection (grouped Features / Bug Fixes) intoRELEASE_NOTES.md, plus the install command.actions/create-release@v1withsoftprops/action-gh-release@v2.generate_release_notes: true— GitHub appends "What's Changed" (with PR links), "New Contributors", and the full changelog comparison below the summary.Result (preview)
Matches the standard GitHub release-note format (e.g. the detectIncognito example), instead of a bare changelog link.
