Subject: [PATCH] chore(release): categorize auto-generated release notes by
 label

GitHub's generate_release_notes now groups merged PRs into sections
(Features, Bug Fixes, Hardening & Validation, Dependencies,
Documentation, Maintenance) based on labels, instead of a flat list.
Mirrors the curated 'What's Changed' style used by headroom releases.
