Description
## Summary
The `changelog/` directory holds 23 entries and feeds nothing. It is a leftover from the Jetpack monorepo, last touched by `1eeda4d` ("Remove WP Super Cache from the Jetpack monorepo", #852, 2026-04-07).
Release notes now come from the PR description. `scripts/prepare-release.mjs:283`:
```js
const changelogSections = ( pr.body || '' ).match( /### Release Notes([\S\s]*?)(?:\n#{1,6} |\n

Research direction
Start by checking the 23 entries under changelog/ and the references in scripts/prepare-release.mjs, scripts/create-release.mjs, .github/workflows/, Makefile, and composer.json; confirm no repository release process consumes them. Read scripts/RELEASE_PR_TEMPLATE.md.mjs and CONTRIBUTING/AGENTS.md, then document the PR-description Release Notes mechanism and remove the obsolete directory once the references are verified.
