Extends the release tooling around the .changes notes pipeline:
- New optional `highlight:` frontmatter field marks a release's headline
changes (max 80 chars, rejected on `type: internal`).
- `--format telegram` renders a paste-ready plain-text post guaranteed to
fit the 4096-character limit (highlights lead, the rest collapses into a
counter); `--format reddit` renders markdown with a suggested title line,
a Highlights section, and a collapsed change list. Both are stdout dry
runs and must run before `--consume`.
- The blog scaffold uses the highlight as a ready section heading instead
of a TODO, and highlight notes without screenshots get their own section.
- `release:verify:draft` waits for the v* tag build via `gh run watch`,
then checks draft status, the authored body, and the complete 27-asset
set (verified against a real full matrix build). Read-only; publishing
stays manual.
- `release:cards:generate` renders branded 1200x630 highlight cards (with
a framed mock-server screenshot strip when the note names one, purely
typographic otherwise) plus a release hero card into dist/, matching the
website palette. Copying into the website tree stays a manual act.
Docs: .changes/README.md, release-notes and release-cut skills (both
copies byte-identical). No release note: release tooling only, no runtime
behavior change.

Backfills the 0.23.0 release notes the .changes/ pipeline missed: it landed
after most of the release was already merged, leaving 4 notes for 79 commits.
Adds 22 curated notes (26 total: 14 features, 11 fixes, 1 perf). Curated
rather than exhaustive — the GitHub release body renders these above
GitHub's own list of every merged PR, so related PRs are folded into one
note per user-facing story: shared player controls (8 PRs), embedded MPV
frame-copy (4), manual EPG mapping (3), plus five more pairs. Tooling-only
scopes get no note. No screenshot slugs: none of the five manifest shots
depicts a 0.23 headline feature, and the capture run asserts TMDB
enrichment stays disabled.
Two tooling fixes found while writing them:
- parseArgs now ignores a bare `--`. npm needs it to forward arguments past
the script name; pnpm hands it to the script verbatim, so
`pnpm run release:notes:github -- --version 0.24.0` died on the very
separator typed to make forwarding work. Unknown flags and missing values
still fail as before. Covered by new subprocess CLI tests wired into the
release-tools target.
- .changes/README.md claimed every non-consume mode was a safe dry run;
--format changelog and --format blog write their target file.
No app or lib code, no version bump, no --consume, no CHANGELOG.md or
website changes — those stay owned by release-cut.
