### Changed

- Replace `mindsers/changelog-reader-action` with an inline `awk` extractor in the `create-release` workflow. The upstream action is unmaintained and still runs on Node 20, which is being deprecated by GitHub Actions on 2026-06-02 (see [giantswarm/giantswarm#36091](https://github.com/giantswarm/giantswarm/issues/36091)). Inline shell has no Node runtime, so the workflow is no longer exposed to future Node-deprecation cycles. The replacement was validated byte-for-byte against 128 historical release bodies produced by the action across 100 consumer repos.
