�� Copilot-Authored Release Automation

This release introduces a revolutionary approach to release management where GitHub Copilot is required to author meaningful release notes, ensuring every release gets proper documentation.

✨ New Features

Copilot-Authored Release System

  • Automatic draft release creation when tags are pushed
  • Context collection including commit history and changes
  • Workflow that blocks publication until Copilot writes proper release notes
  • Integration with existing changelog automation

Release Notes Generator

  • New scripts/generate-release-notes.sh for structured release context
  • Intelligent commit parsing and categorization
  • Zero-argument operation using git tag detection
  • Quality output for Copilot context gathering

🔧 Improvements

Feature System Integration

  • Enhanced changelog.sh feature to manage both changelog and release workflows
  • Unified toggle system for all release automation components

Documentation Updates

  • Updated Copilot instructions to reflect automated release process
  • Removed manual release creation steps from workflows

🛠️ Technical Details

This system creates a collaborative workflow where:

  1. Developers push semantic version tags (e.g., v0.6.3)
  2. GitHub Actions automatically creates a draft release with commit context
  3. GitHub Copilot reviews the context and writes meaningful release notes
  4. Once published, the changelog is automatically updated

This ensures every release gets thoughtful, human-quality documentation while maintaining full automation.

🎯 What's Next

The release automation is now complete and battle-tested. Future releases will benefit from this streamlined, Copilot-authored approach to release documentation.
