The PR-then-tag half of box#83's flow, rig's side. CHANGELOG.md starts
with an Unreleased section (feature PRs land their entry as part of the
PR — box's convention, now written into CONTRIBUTING alongside the
release ritual). On a tag push, release.yml asserts the bare tag equals
the tree's own VERSION — a mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing —
then creates the GitHub release with that version's changelog section as
the body, extracted by changelog_section in .github/scripts/release-lib.sh:
one function, sourced by the workflow and driven by test/release.sh
against fixtures and the shipped CHANGELOG.md itself. No assets — for a
pure-bash tree, the tag's source tarball IS the package.
