Run gem:changelog on a runner - #3086

Conversation
Preparing a release from a Claude Code on the web session is possible except for this one step: `gem:changelog` and `gem:changelog:json` ask GitHub which pull requests the commits came from, they ask through `gh`, and such a session cannot reach `api.github.com` at all. The refusal is keyed on the session, so neither installing `gh` nor rewriting the task against REST gets around it. docs/release.md answers that today by describing how to assemble the same list with the GitHub MCP server instead — which is a second implementation of `changelog_pull_requests`, written in prose, that has to be kept in agreement with the first. It has already drifted twice. A runner has `gh` and `github.token`, as `gem:gh_release` in release-gems.yml already relies on, so the task can just be run where it works and read back from the log, the summary or the artifact. The ref selector picks the branch the changelog is for and the copy of the task that computes it, which are the same choice. Nothing is written: `contents: read` for the history and the tags, and `pull-requests: read` for what the commits came from.

Some environments cannot reach
api.github.com, sorake gem:changelogcannot run there. This runs it on a runner instead, whereghandgithub.tokenboth work.
