v0.31.2

Highlights

• Release notes can no longer silently lose the task inventory. The check-release-notes gate used to refuse only notes that exactly matched the generated draft, so a curated --notes-file carrying Highlights alone passed every gate and published without the per-task inventory every release carries. That happened to 0.31.1 and had to be repaired by hand. The gate now requires the generated collapsed section to survive curation verbatim and the Highlights placeholder to be gone, and it stops the release outright if the draft it checks against has no inventory to compare, rather than passing every candidate.

• Config admits behavioral taste rules. A [taste] table now accepts named rows of words and message evaluated by the Rust taste judge, alongside the existing policy.taste.words lexical replacement map that stays Python's.
