# What does this implement/fix?
The 2.10.0 stable release failed before it could create the draft
release: the workflow passes the generated release notes to the draft
step through an environment variable, and for a release aggregating
~1700 PRs that exceeds the kernel's argument size limit ("Argument list
too long"). Even with that fixed, the notes would still be rejected by
GitHub's 125,000-character release body limit.
- Hand the release notes from the generator to the workflow through a
file instead of a step output/env var
- Drop dependency-bump PRs that add no information to the notes:
frontend/models bumps always (their changes are inlined elsewhere), all
bumps on a stable X.Y.0 release, and superseded bumps everywhere else
- Trim the least important sections when the notes still exceed GitHub's
release body size limit, adding a full-changelog link
