Description

## Summary
Evaluate replacing or augmenting the single release notes file with per-version markdown files.

## Scope
- Preserve current public links, index/search behavior, and the latest-release docs workflow. Decide whether the single file becomes an index, generated aggregate, or legacy page.
- Validate links, screenshots, UI labels, and examples against the current SimpleChat experience.
- Keep tenant-specific secrets, IDs, and environment-specific values out of published examples.

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Documentation or content covers the requested scope clearly.
- [ ] Relevant links, images, and examples are reviewed for accuracy.
- [ ] Any related existing feature documentation is linked instead of duplicated.

## Notes
- Source backlog entry: Release Notes By Version Folder
- Source file: priv-simplechat-2/grouped_feature_fix_backlog.md
- Backlog status: Docs / Content, Research
- Current anchors: `docs/explanation/release_notes.md`, `docs/latest-release/`
- Proposed roadmap priority: P2
- Proposed roadmap size: M
