Add tooling to generate Multipass release notes from enriched commit and PR metadata, plus a reusable Copilot agent and issue template to drive it. - get-commits-since-release.sh: emits per-commit JSON, with --enrich to fetch PR title/body/labels/diffstat via gh, and an early-exit filter that drops CI/infra and dependency/bot churn before ranking - RELEASE_NOTES_TEMPLATE.md: the release-notes template - .github/agents/release-notes-generator.agent.md: signal-net candidate selection and anchored, batched PR ranking - .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release-notes.md: issue-driven trigger for the Copilot coding agent

Description
Adds a data-driven pipeline for generating Multipass release notes, plus a reusable Copilot agent and issue template to run it.
get-commits-since-release.sh: emits per-commit JSON since a tag. With--enrichit fetches PR title/body/labels/diffstat viagh(cached per PR), and classifies release-notes noise (CI/infra plumbing, dependency/CI bot churn) with an early-exitskipfilter so it never enters ranking context.RELEASE_NOTES_TEMPLATE.md: the notes template..github/agents/release-notes-generator.agent.md: a registered Copilot agent implementing signal-net candidate selection and anchored, batched PR ranking (so major-but-terse PRs aren't buried under self-describing minor ones)..github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release-notes.md: an issue-driven trigger — fill in the previous tag + target version and assign to Copilot.Related Issue(s)

Additional Notes
The agent file lives under
.github/agents/(force-added, since it is covered by a global gitignore locally). It is discoverable by the Copilot coding agent and invokable locally in VS Code.
