Summary
The release makes agentic workflows that touch release notes use update-release instead of direct GitHub mutations, preserving a read-only job model. It also lets cached-log commands merge matching JSONL shards, prune stale files and write collision-resistant results.
Why it matters
The change turns write authority into an explicit workflow boundary, a useful governance pattern for agent-generated repository maintenance.
