Myasnikov Daniil 34e45295fe ci(release): fix second-round review findings
Two more review passes (Claude + Codex) on the previous commit. Codex
found the one that would have broken the very next promotion.

The agent reads its own instructions from the working tree, which is the
rc tag. Every rc cut before this change carries the old §2 of
docs/agents/changelog.md — two valid configurations, "stop" on anything
else — and a detached rc-tag checkout is exactly that "anything else". So
promoting v1.6.0-rc.4 would have presented a compliant agent with
instructions telling it to refuse, silently, producing no changelog on
every promotion of an existing rc. Verified against the tag. The same
applies to hack/validate-changelog.sh, absent from those trees entirely,
which would have failed the Verify step with "command not found" and, in
open-pr, taken the promote PR down with it. Both are now overlaid from the
dispatch ref, best-effort, in both jobs.

The structural validation added last round rejected every PATCH
changelog. It asserted a `# Cozystack vX.Y.Z` header and a 20-line floor;
patch releases use `# vX.Y.Z (date)` and v1.5.1 is a complete 19-line
release. Good AI output would have been discarded and the promote PR
mislabelled "generation failed". Measured across the tree: the header form
holds for 23 of 115 changelogs, so it was never an invariant.

The predicates now live in hack/validate-changelog.sh, tested directly
against real changelogs rather than through YAML greps — the reason the
defect shipped is that the suite pinned finalize's guard but nothing on
the promote-side validator, and stayed green when the validator was
mutated away. It accepts both header conventions, has no line floor, and
checks the version in the header, the release-link comment and the compare
link, so a changelog generated for the wrong version is caught. All 16
current-era changelogs pass; whitespace, empty, truncated and
wrong-version inputs are rejected.

Also fixed:

- A fatal artifact download in open-pr would abort the job before the PR
  step — the same wedge as a skipped job, one step lower. Download is now
  best-effort and the commit and PR body key off what is on disk, not an
  upstream job output that says nothing about whether the transfer worked.
- A pre-existing changelog (hand-written, or preserved across the
  force-push) reached the PR without ever being validated, was advertised
  with ✅ and published verbatim. It now goes through the same validator,
  as does the tags.yaml backstop.
- `gh pr view <branch>` matches closed PRs, so re-dispatching after
  closing an abandoned promote PR edited the dead PR and opened nothing.
  Branch on state explicitly.
- `gh pr edit --body` unconditionally overwrote the PR body, destroying
  the upstream breaking-change notes docs/release.md instructs reviewers
  to paste there. Refresh only while the body is still the generated one.
- open-pr consumed raw dispatch input while its siblings used the
  validated parse; the changelog job's bash parse did not trim, so an
  input with a stray space passed promote and failed there. Both fixed.
- The prompt and §2 said "trailing release-link comment"; it is the first
  thing in every changelog.

Tests grow to 16, each mutation-checked: dropping the overlay, making the
download fatal, reverting the existing-changelog check to `-s`, and
removing the backstop validator each fail the suite.
