            Write an exciting, polished GitHub release body for if-changed ${{ inputs.tag }} and save it to `release-notes.md`.

            if-changed is a Rust CLI tool for incremental builds — it conditionally runs commands only when specified files have changed. It's designed for use in build scripts, CI pipelines, and Makefiles to skip redundant work.

            Steps:
            1. Run `git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^` to get the previous tag, then run `git log <previous-tag>..HEAD --oneline` to see all commits in this release.
            2. Read `README.md` and `src/` files to understand the CLI API and use cases.
            3. Write the release body to `release-notes.md`. It should:
               - Open with an enthusiastic one-paragraph summary of what's new or why this release is exciting.
               - Have clearly labelled sections (e.g. **✨ New Features**, **🐛 Bug Fixes**, **⚡ Improvements**) — only include sections that actually have content.
               - For any significant new feature, include a short shell example showing it in action.
               - End with an installation snippet (`cargo install if-changed`).
               - Be written in an upbeat, developer-friendly tone — celebrate the work!
            Do NOT publish it yourself — a subsequent step will do that.
