Inputs

name	description	required	default
github-token	Token used to read merged PRs and create/update the release PR. Needs `pull-requests: write`.	—	${{ github.token }}
base	Production branch the release PR targets.	—	master
head	Staging branch the release PR comes from.	—	dev
initial-version	Version used for the very first release PR, when no previously merged release PR exists.	—	v0.1.0
bump	Version component bumped when creating a new release PR: major, minor, or patch.	—	minor
groups	Optional newline-separated mapping of PR title prefixes to display names, e.g. "OTF: Operação Terra Forte". When set, changelog entries are grouped by the acronym before the dash in each PR title, under the mapped name. All-caps prefixes missing from the mapping get a group under the raw acronym; when empty, the changelog is a flat list.	—	""
ungrouped-label	Group heading used for PRs whose title has no recognizable prefix. Only used when `groups` is set.	—	Other
customer-heading	Heading of the customer-facing changelog section, built from the notes authors write between `<!-- changelog:begin -->` and `<!-- changelog:end -->` markers in PR bodies. The section is omitted when no pending PR has notes.	—	Customer changelog
