…note sections - Pinned `conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits@^9.3.1` in the release workflow's `extra_plugins` (it was unpinned → pulled v10 → empty notes; e.g. v2.2.3 dropped a `fix:` commit). - Aligned `.releaserc.json` `presetConfig.types` to studio's superset.

Code Review
This pull request updates the release configuration in .releaserc.json to expand and reorganize the commit types mapped to changelog sections. Feedback on the changes points out a configuration issue where the conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits preset does not support filtering by scope within the types array. This limitation would cause the second chore entry to be ignored and all chore commits to be incorrectly grouped under 'Dependency Updates'. It is recommended to combine these entries into a single 'Chores & Dependency Updates' section.

Why
Our semantic-release repos generate GitHub release notes with the
conventionalcommitspreset, but the behavior had drifted and, in several repos, notes were coming out empty. Two separate causes:@semantic-release/release-notes-generator@14still bundles the Handlebars-basedconventional-changelog-writer@8. Theconventional-changelog-conventionalcommitsv10 preset rewrote its templates as JS functions for the newer@conventional-changelog/templateengine (writer@9); fed to writer@8 only the header survives, so every release note collapses to just its## [x.y.z]…line.presetConfig.typesdrift. Types likechore/chore(deps)/ci/build/stylewere hidden or missing, so dependency-only releases (the common Renovate case) produced empty notes.This PR makes the repo consistent with studio's canonical release config (which surfaces every commit type) and holds the preset on v9 where relevant. Reference: HarperFast/studio#1560.
