Research direction

Start by finding where release note templates are parsed and rendered in generate-release-notes. The requested behavior is to add placeholders for a full release note entry and for each release note line, falling back to the issue title when no release note entry exists. Done means the example templates can produce the shown output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
