Description

Update the release notes SOP that was most effective after several iterations of having it generate the v1.21.0 release notes - final flow is at zastrowm#19.

The flow on this was tweaking the SOP and then running the agent, and attempting to have it update in response. The biggest problems to solve was that:

  • It blindly trusted examples in PRs, resulting in examples that were wrong because of stale PRs
  • It would not generate useful tests

I do not have the step-by-steps results with the different prompt variants as I deleted the older issues to avoid too many references being added to old PRs, but viewing the final issue with results shows the SOP results with one shot run after verifying which features should go in.
