…release notes
After each release the update-self-refs job opens a PR titled
'chore: update cagent-action to vX.Y.Z'. When the *next* release is
created with --generate-notes, this PR is included as the first bullet
in the changelog, confusing readers who expect only user-visible changes.
Add a 'Filter release notes' step immediately after 'Create GitHub
Release'. It fetches the generated body, removes any line containing
'update cagent-action to v' (the self-referential auto-update bullet),
and writes the cleaned body back via 'gh release edit --notes-file'.
The notify job fetches release notes from the GitHub API so it will
automatically receive the already-filtered body with no further changes.
Docker Agent version bumps ('update Docker Agent to v*') are
intentionally preserved — they are genuinely useful to readers.

Assessment: 🔴 CRITICAL
Two high-severity bugs were found in the new Filter release notes step.
| Severity | Finding |
|---|---|
| 🔴 HIGH | grep -v exits code 1 when all lines filtered → step aborts under errexit |
| 🔴 HIGH | Missing emptiness guard → empty $FILTERED silently blanks release notes |

Problem
This PR removes the self-referential auto-updates produced by the
update-self-refsjob from the previous release cycle in release notes. It is noise for readers who expect only user-visible changes.
