Summary

Adds release tracking to both the main report and the comment summary template.

Changes

Report Table — Releases Column

  • New Releases column between Merged PRs and Commits
  • Count of non-draft releases published in the report date range
  • Clickable link to the repo's releases page when count > 0
  • Included in totals row, Details section, and summary output
  • Works for both org repos and external tracked repos

Comment Template — Releases Table

  • Consolidated releases table at the top of the template (before PR listings)
  • Columns: Repository, Release (name/tag with link), Date
  • Sorted by publication date (newest first)
  • Section omitted entirely when no releases in the period
  • PR listings per repo remain unchanged below

API

  • Fetches /repos/{org}/{repo}/releases unconditionally (one call per active repo)
  • Filters to non-draft releases with published_at within the date range

Testing

Tested with --start=2026-02-01 --end=2026-02-23:

  • 35 releases across 13 repos in the report table
  • 95 merged PRs across 33 active repos (unchanged)
  • Comment template: releases table at top, PR listings below, no duplication

Depends On
