-      # Install Craft using the shared install action
+      # Install Craft from release
+      # Note: Dogfooding (using build artifact from this PR) is not feasible here because:
+      # 1. The build workflow runs separately and artifacts are scoped to that workflow run
+      # 2. Cross-workflow artifact fetching would require additional complexity
+      # 3. The changelog preview is less critical than the main release action
+      # For now, we always use the released version for changelog previews.
