+`release` first proves the branch differs from `main`; an unchanged branch exits
+before notes, AI, commits, pushes, or PR creation. It commits dirty source,
+writes custom `--notes` / `--notes-file` content or a bounded Cursor, Codex,
+Claude, then Git fallback to `.release-notes/requests/<branch>.md`, adds one
+request commit, and pushes. The generated request workflow creates or updates
+the source PR. `--approve` enables auto-merge after checks.

+After the source PR merges, Release Please retains direct conventional semantic
+increments and applies required dependent patches. Reconciliation copies the
+readable request Markdown into one temporary
+`.release-notes/final/<component>-v<version>.md` per affected component and
+deletes the consumed request file in the release PR. Publication applies each
+file to its matching GitHub Release, then removes the temporary notes tree in a
+cleanup commit. Request and final notes never count as source changes.
