FIELD NOTE

Release evidence should reduce the cost of interpretation without hiding uncertainty, context, or the need for human judgment.

A useful release note explains what changed, who will notice, what could go wrong, how the change was verified, where evidence lives, and what the rollback signal looks like. Everything else is optional.
