Make this section the single source of truth for how release notes are written across all five blog folders. Restructure it into Writing style (shared rules plus the no-marketing-language do/don't table), Structure and frontmatter, and a Per-folder conventions table that replaces the interleaved per-type exceptions in the old numbered steps. Standardize the title date format to `Month D, YYYY` (full month name, no ordinal, no leading zero), per the Dates section. State that the `YYYY-MM-DD-` filename prefix is required because the Docusaurus blog plugin derives the publish date and sort order from it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Trim the five release-note-*.md commands and the sumo-style skill so
editorial guidance lives only in the style guide. Remove restated voice,
conciseness, and "Learn more" bullets, and the date rules that are now
wrong after the Month D, YYYY standardization: the Cloud SIEM "use
ordinal suffixes" rules and `{Day}th` placeholder, the Cloud SOAR
"zero-padded day" rules and examples, and the Collector checklist line
that still said 'Starts with "We're excited to..."'. Each spot now links
to /docs/contributing/style-guide/#release-notes. Mechanical scaffolding
(heading levels, [New]/[Updated] tags, CVE format, frontmatter blocks,
workflow steps) is unchanged.

Purpose of this pull request
From UAT: 60% of Mindtouch-to-Docusaurus testers had trouble navigating release note categories. DOCS-12 is the follow-up to improve release note consistency and discoverability; this PR is the consistency half.
Makes the style guide's Release notes section the single source of truth for how release notes are written across all five blog folders (Service, Collector, Cloud SIEM, Cloud SOAR, Developer). Rewrites it into:
Month D, YYYYper the Dates section.YYYY-MM-DD-filename prefix, truncating long notes, and the two release-note-specific frontmatter fields.Also trims the five
.claude/commands/release-note-*.mdtemplates and thesumo-styleskill to reference this section instead of restating it.Select the type of change
