git-iris's own release pipeline still generated its changelog and release notes with claude-opus-5. This moves all three release-path steps to claude-opus-5-5, the current Opus: the changelog and release-notes steps in release.yml, and the fallback in cicd.yml that regenerates notes when the release-notes artifact is missing.

No provider code changes are needed. src/agents/provider.rs already matches the whole claude-opus-5 prefix and sends explicit adaptive thinking plus an effort level. Opus 5.5 defaults to medium effort where Opus 5 defaulted to high, but because these steps always send an explicit effort, the requests they make don't change. The product's default Anthropic model (claude-opus-5 in src/providers.rs) is untouched here.

🧪 Validation

actionlint reports nothing above info level on either workflow. The changed steps only run during a release, so the first real exercise will be the next release run.
