 Tagged pushes matching `V*` now reuse the same packaging flow in CI and attach native release assets to the GitHub Release created by `.github/workflows/release.yml`.
 
+The GitHub Release body is generated from the matching version section in `CHANGELOG.md`, then appends the actual packaging mode note:
+
+- `developer-id` -> signed/notarized packaging note
+- `development` -> prerelease fallback note
+
+If a changelog section is missing for the pushed tag version, the workflow falls back to a short placeholder instead of publishing an empty body.
