ci: drive release notes from CHANGELOG.md#233

Conversation
The previous release.yml used `gh release --generate-notes`, which walked back to the previous tag and pulled every PR merged in between. For v2.0.0 that meant a year of stale dependabot bumps showed up in the notes for what was a complete rewrite. Extract the matching `## vX.Y.Z` section from CHANGELOG.md instead, and hard-fail the workflow if there's no entry — forcing the CHANGELOG to be updated before any tag can be pushed. No release is cut by this change: release.yml only fires on `vX.Y.Z` tag pushes, and this PR doesn't push a tag. The behavior takes effect on the next intentional release.
