📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the release configuration to update changelog file path resolution with a conditional suffix mechanism based on branch names, and updates the semantic-release branches configuration to support version 9.x.x while removing support for version 8.x.x and the next-major branch.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Release configuration updates \.releaserc\.js	Introduces changelogFileSuffix logic to map release branch patterns to a generic 'release' suffix or preserve the branch name; updates changelogFile path to use the suffix. Removes 'next-major' and 'release-8.x.x' branch entries; adds new 'release-9.x.x' branch target with corresponding range and channel configuration.

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Focus on verifying the changelog file path mapping logic correctly handles the branch name patterns
• Confirm the semantic-release branch configuration correctly targets version 9.x.x and that removal of 8.x.x is intentional
• Validate that the changelogFileSuffix conditional logic properly handles edge cases and branch naming conventions
