3. Acceptance

  • release_notes.org has no placeholder left, and every claim matches the record.
  • The four charts are rendered at the sprint root.
  • release_notes.md is exported for the draft GitHub release.

4. Result

The release notes are written, linked and exported. They are generated from the 516 pull requests merged since the v0.0.25 tag (2026-09-23 to 2026-10-05) and then edited: the summary blurb, the highlights, the ores.cli known-issue reason and the next-sprint line state the sprint's real record, and the twenty abandoned stories the generator listed as key improvements are pruned from that section. The sprint's status table and retrospective link the notes by ID. The four charts — PRs and commits per day, daily line churn, PR cycle time and cumulative stories done — are rendered at the sprint root over the sprint's real window, 2026-09-23 to 2026-10-05, since the status table keeps the planned end date. release_notes.md is exported for the v0.0.26 draft GitHub release, which is created after the merge.
