## **Description** Fixes three issues we just discovered during the most recent release cycle: 1. On a changelog branch, like `release/13.19.0-Changelog`, the workflow ran twice, on both `push` and `pull_request` - This was changed to be fixed in MetaMask/github-tools#217 - Then I simplified `.github/workflows/update-release-changelog.yml` 2. The release branch was not running job `publish-prerelease` because `needs-benchmarks == 'false'` and the benchmarks were prereqs 3. `prep-e2e` had the gate `if: ${{ (github.head_ref || github.ref_name) != 'stable' }}` on the whole job, which prevented it from generating `test-runs-for-splitting`. Changed to gating just the diff steps. ## **Changelog** CHANGELOG entry: null <!--## **Related issues** ## **Manual testing steps** ## **Screenshots/Recordings** ## **Pre-merge author checklist** ## **Pre-merge reviewer checklist** [skip-e2e]--> <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Low Risk** > Workflow-only changes to CI/release automation; main risk is accidentally skipping/triggering release jobs due to updated job conditions and branch filters. > > **Overview** > Fixes release-cycle GitHub Actions behavior. > > `publish-prerelease` in `main.yml` is now explicitly gated to run when releases are enabled and **not cancelled**, requiring all non-benchmark prerequisite jobs to be `success`/`skipped` so benchmarks no longer block prereleases. > > `prep-e2e.yml` now runs on `stable`, but skips the diff/artifact steps there so it still produces `test-runs-for-splitting`. `publish-prerelease.yml` makes downloading `page-load-benchmark-results` non-blocking (`continue-on-error`). `update-release-changelog.yml` is simplified by narrowing the push branch filter to semver-like `release/x.y.z` and removing the extra branch-validation job. > > <sup>Written by [Cursor Bugbot](https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=bugbot) for commit 95b4e36.

Rename
release/${version}-Changelogtorelease-changelog/${version}Note
Low Risk
Branch-name and template-formatting changes limited to GitHub release automation scripts; low blast radius but could affect automation if any external tooling still expects the old changelog branch naming.
Overview
Updates release automation to use the new changelog branch naming convention
release-changelog/<version>instead ofrelease/<version>-Changelog, including updated detection logic (with a-fallbackvariant) inupdate-release-changelog.sh.Also aligns the release PR template formatting (markdown list/whitespace) and updates the comprehensive test script to use the new changelog branch name.
