Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s GitHub Copilot guidance by adding a “Creating a Release PR” section to standardize how release PRs are prepared (title format, required version bumps, and CHANGELOG entry rules) to reduce inconsistent release commits.
Changes:
- Adds a required release PR title format (
[Release] Increase version to <new-version>). - Documents which files must be updated for a release (
package.json,lib/package.json,README.md,CHANGELOG.md). - Adds CHANGELOG rules (significant changes focus, compare link requirement, preserve any “Unreleased” sections) plus a pre-submission checklist.

| ```markdown | ||
| # v<new-version> <Month> <ordinal-day>, <Year> | ||

Copilot instructions lacked guidance on how to create a release PR, leading to inconsistent release commits and missing file updates.
