Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-4-8) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Pure CHANGELOG reorganization (+48/-30, 1 file). The 0.46 "New Features" list is redistributed into Quantization / Speculative Decoding / Megatron Framework / Misc subsections, mirroring the existing convention already used in the 0.45 section. A new empty 0.47 (2026-xx-xx) scaffold section is added and the release date for 0.46 is fixed (2026-08-17).

Verified against the full file: all bullet entries are preserved (LSQ, Triton local_hessian, NVFP4 4/6, dLLM + sub-bullets, D-PACE, streaming/Domino spec-decode, Minitron MCore/VLM variants, CP/DP, day0-release skill, --target_dla, puzzletron) — just moved, not dropped. The old top-level Experimental header is folded into 0.46 Misc as an "(Experimental)" bullet. Minor incidental edits: -> rewritten as to, "QAD" expanded to "Quantization-Aware Distillation (QAD)", and a new "Python 3.10 support will be dropped" deprecation bullet (consistent with the identical note already in 0.44). No licensing files/headers touched; no code changes so no tests needed. No prompt-injection content in the PR body or diff.
