GitHub release notes structure

**We recommend all users upgrade.** <one-line verdict: what this release is,
and that it was validated by the release test process>

## 🔒 Security hardening        (if applicable — lead with it)
## ✨ New features               (user language, issue refs)
## ⚡ Performance
## 🐛 Notable fixes
## ⚠️ Behavior changes for self-hosters
    <anything that can require a config tweak on upgrade — numbered,
     each with the escape hatch (env var, override file, doc link)>
## 🙏 Thanks                     (MANDATORY — see below)
Full details in the [CHANGELOG](.../CHANGELOG.md).

Tone: honest and specific. Say what protections do AND what stays supported (e.g. "private IPs/localhost remain fully supported for self-hosted Ollama").

🙏 Thanks — collecting contributors (never skip, never miss anyone)

Commit authors in the release range: git log <last-tag>..<tag> --pretty='%an <%ae>' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
Map every non-obvious name to a GitHub handle via their PR: gh pr view <n> --json author --jq .author.login (PR list: gh pr list --state merged --limit 100 --json number,author,mergedAt,title filtered to merges after the previous tag — beware PRs merged before the previous tag was cut appearing in date filters.)
One bullet per contributor: @handle — what they shipped, with refs.
Close with a collective thank-you to issue reporters.
Bots (dependabot) are excluded.
