Subject: [PATCH] Fix version reference in changelog notes extraction

The "check" step only sets a "should_release" output, not "version" - the
version comes from the earlier "version" step. Referencing the wrong step
left VERSION empty, which made the awk pattern match every "## " changelog
header instead of just the target version's, so notes for older releases
kept bleeding into newer ones (see v8.6.2 and v8.6.3 release notes).
