Action Summary

This GitHub Action uses an Ollama model to generate release notes from Git history and diffs, creating or updating a GitHub Release automatically. It supports multiple languages and bilingual output, excluding non-source files, and falls back to deterministic notes if inference fails. The action is triggered on tag pushes, requiring write permissions for content creation.
