Problem: on every release tag, the "Generate and Send Release Notes" workflow collected the commit log, summarized it with the Gemini API, and posted the result to Discord via an n8n webhook. The team has decided the automated summaries aren't worth maintaining — devs prefer to paste the commit log into whatever LLM they like and write the announcement by hand, which gives them editorial control over what users see. Change: delete .github/workflows/release-notes.yml. Nothing else depended on it — auto-tag.yml stays because tag-build.yml still uses the tags it creates, and pr-build.yml's "release notes" step is GitHub's plain generate-notes for prerelease bodies, unrelated to this workflow. Follow-ups this unlocks (outside this repo): the GEMINI_API_KEY and N8N_WEBHOOK_URL repo secrets and the GEMINI_MODEL repo variable are now unused and can be removed, and the n8n Discord workflow will simply stop receiving calls.

What
Deletes
.github/workflows/release-notes.yml— the workflow that, on each release tag, summarized the commit log with Gemini and posted the result to Discord through the n8n webhook.Why
The team prefers writing release announcements manually: paste the commit log into any LLM, edit, and post. That keeps editorial control over what users see and removes a pipeline (Gemini API + n8n webhook) we no longer want to maintain.
What is not affected
auto-tag.ymlstays —tag-build.ymlstill builds releases from the tags it creates.pr-build.yml's "Generate release notes" step stays — that's GitHub's built-ingenerate-notesused for pre-release bodies, unrelated to the AI summarizer.docs/update-system.md) is a separate feature and untouched.Cleanup this enables (not done here)
GEMINI_API_KEYandN8N_WEBHOOK_URL, and repo variableGEMINI_MODEL, are now unused and can be deleted in repo settings.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
