Short description of changes

Adds ReleaseAnnouncement.md — a working draft of the end-user release announcement (separate from ChangeLog) that GitHub Copilot keeps up to date automatically, matching the conversational bullet-point style used in real Jamulus Discussion posts.

New files

• ReleaseAnnouncement.md — live draft; flat bullet list; includes Windows virus-checker REMINDER and pointer to tools/get_release_contributors.py
• .github/release-announcement-template.md — pristine blank template; copied over the draft after each full release
• .github/prompts/release-announcement.prompt.yml — AI prompt with verbatim real Jamulus announcement examples; modelParameters.maxCompletionTokens: 16384 / temperature: 0.1 (action default of 200 tokens would truncate mid-document)

Workflow: .github/workflows/update-release-announcement.yml

• pull_request_target: closed → main — updates draft on every merged PR; workflow + prompt always sourced from main; PR body written to $RUNNER_TEMP via env: before passing as file_input (prevents YAML injection); CHANGELOG: SKIP in PR body skips update
• push: branches: autobuild** — updates draft on the autobuild branch itself so developers can preview how their change would read in the announcement before merging; loop prevention via github.actor != 'github-actions[bot]'; autobuild.yml already has ReleaseAnnouncement.md in paths-ignore
• push: tags: r* + reset-after-release job — resets to template only on clean version tags (r3_12_0); pre-release tags (r3_12_0beta1, r3_12_0rc1) intentionally leave the draft intact so it accumulates through the beta/RC cycle
• Non-empty guard before overwriting the file (protects against empty AI response wiping the draft)

autobuild.yml — ReleaseAnnouncement.md, .github/release-announcement-template.md, .github/prompts/** added to paths-ignore so bot commits don't trigger builds.

CONTRIBUTING.md / .github/pull_request_template.md — note that CHANGELOG: feeds both ChangeLog and ReleaseAnnouncement.md; CHANGELOG: SKIP skips both.

CHANGELOG: SKIP

Context: Fixes an issue?

Implements the approach discussed in #3443 (comment) and https://github.com/orgs/jamulussoftware/discussions/3626.

Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?

The release process checklist at https://jamulus.io/contribute/Release-Process could reference ReleaseAnnouncement.md as the draft to polish and publish, replacing the manual "Draft an announcement" step at the RC stage.
