Research direction

The issue body names no files, tests, or entry points. Inspect the release-note generation flow and how the current package version is determined, then trace how a CHANGELOG is discovered and read. Done means an existing CHANGELOG supplies the current version's GitHub release-note contents while behavior remains unchanged when no CHANGELOG exists.
