Use whenever adding, writing, drafting, or fixing a release note in the Actual Budget repo. This is the changelog entry that ships with a code change, living as a Markdown file in `upcoming-release-notes/`. Trigger for asks like "add a release note", "write the changelog entry", "add the release note for this PR/change", "create the upcoming release note", or any time finishing a user-facing change in this repo where a release note is the natural next step. These notes are published for humans to read, so they must be short, plain-language, and free of technical detail. Writing them like a commit message or with implementation jargon produces entries that get flagged and rewritten in review.
