Mason Daugherty 46e006757b feat(infra): accept maintainer instructions on @release-bot draft (#5299)
Maintainers can now steer a release-notes draft in one shot:
`@release-bot draft <instructions>` feeds the text after the command
into the drafting model as guidance, so a draft can be re-generated with
direction (e.g. `@release-bot draft emphasize the breaking SDK change
and lead with it`) instead of drafting blind and hand-editing after.

---

The release-notes bot's drafting step previously took only the generated
changelog — the only way to shape the result was to edit the posted
draft by hand. This adds a lightweight way to steer the model at draft
time.

- `draft` accepts optional instructions on the same line; `apply` is
unchanged and ignores trailing text, since it republishes the stored
draft verbatim.
- Instructions are capped at 500 characters and truncated at any `@`, so
trailing text can't smuggle a second `@release-bot` mention into the
prompt.
- The instruction is passed to the model in the user message as guidance
explicitly subordinate to the fixed editing rules, never into the system
prompt — the "do not invent behavior / no version heading" constraints
stay authoritative.
- The posted draft comment echoes `Drafted with maintainer instructions:
…` (outside the metadata block and the editable content markers, so both
parsers are unaffected), keeping the prompt that produced a draft
auditable on the PR.
- `prepareDraft` re-sanitizes instructions independently of the comment
parser, so the guarantee holds at the process boundary into the model
request regardless of caller.

The drafting model still runs with no filesystem, shell, or network
tools, and its output is re-validated by `validateDraftOutput` before
publishing — this change only widens what a maintainer can ask for, not
what the model can do.
