Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: read CHANGELOG with absolute path so release notes
 populate

The SDK build step imported earlier in publish.ts does process.chdir into
packages/sdk/js and never restores it, so the relative path to
packages/kilo-vscode/CHANGELOG.md later in the release block resolved to a
missing file. The read silently fell through to an empty string and the
GitHub release body ended up as the 'No notable changes' default even
though the CHANGELOG in the release commit had all the entries.
Resolve the path relative to this script via fileURLToPath so it works
regardless of cwd.
