The DevRel pass now keeps the changelog living instead of letting it drift:
each daily run reconciles a Keep-a-Changelog `[Unreleased]` section against the
PRs that actually merged (user-facing entries only; internal loop/CI churn
skipped) and rolls it into a dated version heading whenever loop-release cuts a
new v6.MINOR.PATCH tag. When enough user-facing work has accumulated (roughly a
week's worth, not a near-empty post every day) it also drafts a "what's new"
changelog blog post narrating what shipped.
Autonomy boundary preserved: CHANGELOG.md upkeep is a safe factual change and
rides the auto-merged DevRel PR; the changelog blog post is opened as its own
PR but left for the human to review/merge, since blog voice stays with the human.
Also fix the CHANGELOG preamble: it claimed calendar versions (YYYY.MM) while
tags are semver (v6.MINOR.PATCH). Correct it, add an `[Unreleased]` section
seeded from real recent work, and note the historical 2026.0x headings.

Rename the autonomous-loop workflows so the Actions list maps to the
long-running-agent harness pattern (planner → generator → evaluator):
architecture-review.yml -> loop-architect.yml "Loop: Architect (Planner)"
continuous-improvement.yml -> loop-builder.yml "Loop: Builder (Generator)"
devrel-review.yml -> loop-devrel.yml "Loop: DevRel"
harness-triage.yml -> loop-triage.yml "Loop: Triage (Evaluator feedback)"
harness.yml stays the shared Evaluator/CI gate (triage still matches it by the
"Harness (E2E)" name). Document the pipeline + role mapping in
CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md, and point to it from CONTRIBUTING so the development
process is discoverable. No behavior change — schedules, gates, and required
checks are unaffected.
