5. Update CHANGELOG.md: add the new [X.Y.Z] section AND bump the footer
link-references (Keep a Changelog) — repoint the [Unreleased]: line to
compare/vX.Y.Z...HEAD and add a [X.Y.Z]: .../compare/vPREVIOUS...vX.Y.Z line.
The footer LABEL is the plain version ([X.Y.Z]:), while the compare URL uses
the v-prefixed git tags (vPREVIOUS...vX.Y.Z). The footer drifts silently if
only the heading is changed (a prior release's compare link may even be
missing); a reviewer bot will flag the dangling [Unreleased]: ref.
