## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The release workflow drafts the upcoming stable's notes skeleton the moment a beta publishes > - That skeleton was a bare list of commit subjects, so the notes only reached the shipped stable's depth after a later authoring pass during the soak > - Stable release notes are consistently verbose and thorough; the initial draft should start that way too > - This pull request nests each referenced PR's own summary under its subject line at creation time, and states the density bar in the authoring skill > - The benefit is a thorough raw document from day one of the soak, with no LLM tokens in Actions ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The `draft_stable_notes` skeleton generated at beta publish (`scripts/draft-stable-notes.sh`). **Current behavior** The skeleton groups bare commit subjects by conventional-commit type. All substance arrives later, when a maintainer or agent rewrites it — reviewed maintainer feedback: stable notes are a lot more verbose, and the initial beta notes should be consistent with that. **Proposed behavior** Each subject that references a PR carries that PR's own summary nested beneath it — the PR template's "What Changed" bullets, else the first prose lines — fetched best-effort via `gh` and skipped silently when unavailable. The release-changelog skill now states the density bar explicitly: the beta-keyed draft ships verbatim as the stable's notes and is written at the previous stable's depth from the first pass. **Reason and benefit** The notes author starts from a thorough raw document instead of a commit list, and beta-time notes match the verbosity the stable will ship with. ## What Changed - `scripts/draft-stable-notes.sh`: `enrich_pr` nests PR summaries under subjects; best-effort (`gh` failure or `DRAFT_NOTES_SKIP_PR_ENRICHMENT=1` degrades to today's output); pipefail-safe when a "What Changed" section has no bullets. - `.github/workflows/release.yml`: the `draft_stable_notes` step gets `GH_TOKEN` so `gh` can read PR bodies. - `.agents/skills/release-changelog/SKILL.md`: "write at full stable depth from the first pass" guideline. - `scripts/draft-stable-notes.test.mjs`: three new tests — enrichment rendering via a fake `gh`, silent degradation without one, and the sparse-body case that previously killed the script under `set -o pipefail`. ## Verification - `node --test scripts/draft-stable-notes.test.mjs` — 11 pass. - Live run against the real repository for the current beta (`2026.818.0-beta.1`, 172 commits): exit 0, 439 nested summary lines; spot-checked entries carry the correct PRs' What Changed bullets. - `bash -n` on the script; `release.yml` re-parsed as YAML. ## Risks - Low: the publish path is untouched; enrichment is read-only `gh` calls in the post-publish draft job and degrades to the current skeleton on any failure. Roughly one API call per commit in the range (~170 today) — well inside the token's rate budget, adds a couple of minutes to a job with a 10-minute timeout. ## Model Used Claude Fable 5 (Claude Code) ## Pre-submission checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template
