Release-notes automation for Team One's Lexus.com deployments: a release webhook triggers a job that fetches the tickets, categorizes them with rules plus model verification, writes dual-audience notes — executive summary for the client, ticket breakdown for engineering — publishes to the wiki, and posts to Slack. Failure isolation is the design: model down → template fallback; publish fails → store and alert; notification fails → log and continue. The release notes ship either way.
