## Generate Release Notes
Target version: **$1** (or infer from package.json if not provided)
```bash
git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -5
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
```
## Format
Group commits by type and write release notes in this structure:
```markdown
## [version] - YYYY-MM-DD
### New Features
- ...
### Bug Fixes
- ...
### Performance
- ...
### Breaking Changes
- ...
### Internal
- ...
```
Rules:
- Skip chore/style/ci commits from user-facing sections
- Rewrite commit messages as user-friendly sentences (not "fix: null check" → "Fixed crash when user data is missing")
- If a commit references an issue/PR, link it: `([#123](...))`
- BREAKING CHANGE footer entries go to Breaking Changes section
Output the final markdown, ready to paste into CHANGELOG.md or a GitHub release.
