EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explain what changed without inventing features or overlooking a breaking change.

For work involving changes between approved software releases and proposed user-facing notes, use this review to check the evidence before action. Prepare a source-linked comparison of two releases and draft notes for a maintainer to review. Change records may include private issues or security fixes, and a comparison can miss context or compatibility risks. Confirm repository access and release versions, omit secrets and restricted details, verify every claim against the actual changes, and require a maintainer to approve the final notes and publication.
