What?

Fixes two documentation gaps identified in #392 (comment) as a follow-up to #392.

Why?

The docs were inconsistent with the actual configuration and labeling behavior introduced in #392:

  • docs/releases.md listed only three release categories, omitting "Breaking Changes"
  • docs/code/developer-workflows.md had no mention of the ! breaking change convention or [Type] Breaking Change label

How?

  • docs/releases.md: Added "Breaking Changes" as the first release category, and noted which labels are excluded from "Other Changes"
  • docs/code/developer-workflows.md: Updated the commit format to include the optional ! indicator with examples, and added [Type] Breaking Change to the automatic labeling table

Testing Instructions

Documentation-only change — verify the rendered markdown looks correct.

Accessibility Testing Instructions

N/A — no UI changes.

- add Breaking Changes category to release notes docs
- document ! breaking change indicator in developer-workflows.md
- add [Type] Breaking Change row to automatic labeling table
