`/release-notes` is now an interactive version picker instead of a wall of text
13 bug fixes including: subagent spawning failures after tmux window kills, Stop hook failures with fast models, streaming JSON encoding bugs, phantom feedback submissions from autopilot keypresses, and a duplicate-message scroll glitch in iTerm2/Ghostty
