Devin Foleyandgithub-actions[bot] ffaac1d7f9 docs(release): stable notes for the 2026.818.0-beta.1 soak (v2026.821.0) (#11661)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release channels promote a soaked beta to stable, and the
promotion reads the stable's release notes from
`releases/beta/v<beta-version>.md` on master
> - Beta `2026.818.0-beta.1` is soaking now, and the release workflow
auto-drafted its notes skeleton on this branch at publish time
> - This pull request rewrites that skeleton into the finished changelog
for the upcoming stable
> - The stable preflight fails without this file on master, so this PR
must merge before promotion day
> - The benefit is release notes reviewed during the soak instead of
written at the gate

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The release-notes flow for the upcoming stable (planned `v2026.821.0`,
promoting beta `2026.818.0-beta.1`, source `664052f8e`).

**Current behavior**

The branch holds the machine-generated skeleton: grouped commit subjects
for the 172-commit range from v2026.817.0's content baseline
(`8f7b8b3fd`).

**Proposed behavior**

The finished changelog in the established release voice: verified
Breaking Changes, Highlights, Improvements, Fixes, an Upgrade Guide
covering migrations 0212–0222 and the new environment variables, and a
verified community contributor list.

**Reason and benefit**

Notes get real review during the soak; the promotion just reads the
merged file.

## What Changed

- Rewrite `releases/beta/v2026.818.0-beta.1.md` from skeleton to
finished notes. Headline themes: chat-style tasks as the default
experience, Tailscale HTTPS managed runtime exposure, sandbox capability
contract with live output streaming, in-product Claude/Codex sign-in,
chunked resumable company imports, and the completed release-channel
automation.
- Five verified breaking/behavior changes, including the
`enableTaskChatRedesign` → `enableClassicTaskInterface` toggle inversion
and migration `0218`'s conservative resolver-policy remap.
- Contributors: 172 commits from 32 non-bot authors; 22 verified
community handles listed (founders/core excluded per the canonical list;
4 authors omitted as unverifiable rather than guessed).

## Verification

- Every cited PR number resolves to a commit subject in the range.
- No internal ticket identifiers.
- Handles verified via noreply emails, co-author trailers, or `gh api
users/<name>`.
- The version/date header says the planned promotion (`v2026.821.0`,
2026-08-21); if promotion slips, only that header needs a touch-up — the
beta-keyed filename is date-independent.

## Risks

- Docs-only. If a newer beta supersedes `2026.818.0-beta.1` before
promotion, this file stays as history and the new beta gets its own
draft.
