+- Remove the 1 MiB ceiling on captured git output (#596)

 Provides a self-contained CLI that auto-discovers workspaces from `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, parses conventional commits, determines version bumps, updates `package.json` files, and generates changelogs from `git-cliff --context` output rendered in-process (with optional [editorial overrides](#editorial-overrides)).

-- Add status labels and clear grouped-label descriptions (#585)
+- Remove the 1 MiB ceiling on captured git output (#596)
 
-  Adds two status labels (`status:blocked` and `status:on-hold`) to the common preset and removes descriptions from other scoped labels (`priority:` and `value:`) to keep scoped groups compact in the GitHub UI.
-
-- Publish each package's readyup kit from the package that owns it (#590)
-
-  ReadyUp checks for `@williamthorsen/nmr`, `@williamthorsen/release-kit`, and `v11y-check` are now run directly against these packages, guaranteeing a version-appropriate check, instead of against their host repo. The package must be installed as a direct dependency in the calling repo.
-
-  The syntax is `rdy run --from npm:<package>`. `rdy run --packages` runs the kits contained in any packages listed in `.config/readyup.config.ts`. Requires `readyup` 0.23 or later.
