Nick 82abd1b3ab feat(pipeline): EXIT-NOTE TEMPLATE — plain-English version history (contract BUILDER-2026-10-08T02:04:24Z-a129fb)
Nick's directive: when the pipeline earns a new version, the release
body must carry a plain-English summary of what was worked on and
submitted — the counterpart of the issue-entry template, part of the
Gitea Actions pipeline (auto-version.yml), not a manual step.

- scripts/release_exit_note.py: renders the exit note from the push
  range (git log v<last>..HEAD, chore(release) excluded) — conventional-
  commit prefix → kind classification (added/fixed/improved), reader-
  facing translation (contract refs, parity language, truth batteries),
  aggregate headline + per-item bullets + verification summary
- auto-version.yml: wired into the release step (LAST_TAG →
  release_exit_note.py → --exit-note flag on release_history_cli init)
- release_history_cli.py: consumes --exit-note, parses the markdown
  into structured extras (headline + items) passed to
  auto_initial_note(extra=...)
- release_notes.py: auto_initial_note accepts extra (merged into
  improved/added/fixed after fact extraction, deduped)
- scripts/backfill_exit_notes.py: retroactive backfill for the 27
  pre-template releases (executed — all patched)

The exit note is now a first-class pipeline citizen: every earned
version carries the human narrative alongside the governed evidence.

"""release_exit_note.py — the EXIT-NOTE TEMPLATE (Nick, 2026-10-08).
The counterpart of the issue-entry template: when the pipeline earns a new
version, this renders a PLAIN-ENGLISH summary of what was worked on and
submitted, so version history reads without opening commits.
Template (what the reader sees):
## What changed in v<VERSION>
<aggregate paragraph — counts by kind, the headline of the wave>
### What was worked on
- <commit subject, translated to plain English>
### How it was verified
- contracts walked (BUILDER-...) / truth batteries / CI gates — one
line per verification kind found in the range
Feed: git log v<last-tag>..HEAD (chore(release) bumps excluded), the
conventional-commit prefix gives the kind; the subject's scope gives the
plain-English translation. The release step calls render() and passes the
result as `extra.improved`/`added`/`fixed` per kind, so the evidence-
derived note carries the human narrative alongside the governed facts.
Usage:
python3 scripts/release_exit_note.py --since v0.117.0 [--to HEAD]
python3 scripts/release_exit_note.py --since v0.117.0 --json # machine
