This workflow sets GITHUB_TOKEN for the gh CLI, but elsewhere in this repo gh is authenticated via GH_TOKEN. To match the existing pattern (and avoid any CLI auth edge cases), set GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} for the changelog step.

@anestos is this correct?

actions/create-release@v1 requires authentication, but this step doesn't pass a token (e.g., env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}). Without it, the release creation will fail with an auth error. Add the required token environment variable (or switch to an action that accepts an explicit token: input).
