feat: announce release initialization 2026-08-04 10:48:55 +00:00			`### Added`

fix(changelog): #285's fragment carries a terminal cite changelog.d/253.md landed on main after this branch's point with the cite trailing the period — the crew#309 shape, the fifth fragment to arrive with it since #262 measured two. The criterion is that changelog.d/ is clean at the head, and the head CI reviews is the merge with main, which is where this one surfaced.
