Prepare release notes and migration guidance from a verified revision range and project release policy. Use for release preparation; never present open PRs or planned changes as shipped features.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Prepare a release

Read the project's release policy, previous release, and requested target revision. Resolve the revision range before summarizing. Keep unmerged work and future plans separate from changes actually included in that range.

Group changes by their effect on users: additions, fixes, behavior changes, deprecations, and removals. Link claims to commits, PRs, or affected public interfaces. Omit internal churn that has no useful consequence for the reader.

For breaking changes, show the previous and new behavior and a concrete migration example. Inspect package metadata, supported runtimes, installation instructions, and required release checks. Treat CI badges and old test output as insufficient evidence for the current revision.

Return draft release notes, a migration section when needed, the evaluated revision range, completed checks, and remaining release blockers. Follow the repository's versioning policy; don't invent a version if the user's requested release is still ambiguous.
