The user knows who they are, why show it next to every message? It clutters the UI. So I removed the avatar from the human messages (we still have the avatar in the top right). I also removed the name from the follow-up message. It doesn't add anything. Ideally we'd remove the "user name" every where but when I did that, the layout looked kinda bad because there was still the 'split into chat' button.

@mrnugget should the LLM avatar also be removed too? now it looks off centered from the left. I personally don't mind the avatar being there, it keeps all the icons consistent on the left. But if we're going to remove it maybe just remove the name entirely
|
You mean the user name? Or the model name? |
the username. I think we should either do all avatar, no names, or only names no avatars. I think it feels inconsistent now, theres a name (no avatar), SG icon, LLM icon + name in a single turn of the chat |

This PR improves VS Code release notes generation by introducing changelog summarization. The new `release-notes.ts` script creates easy to understand, categorized release notes with emojis and clear formatting. This refactoring also makes it more simple to plugin future changelogs. The following output is an example of what will be used in the release script. Example output for `v1.70.1`: ``` ✨ For the full technical changelog, see [What’s new in v1.70.0](https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/blob/main/vscode/CHANGELOG.md) since v1.68.0 ✨ This release brings significant improvements to the chat interface, enhanced auto-edit functionality, and various bug fixes to improve the overall user experience. ✨ New Features - Support for dynamic mentions in prompt templates, making @ mentions more flexible and context-aware [#6793](#6793) - Enhanced image handling in auto-edit with better alignment and user-specific font size support [#7036](#7036) 🔄 Improvements - Streamlined chat interface with simplified UI and improved user experience [#6992](#6992) - Enhanced prompt caching for code context messages, improving response times [#6953](#6953) - Improved code border styles for better visual clarity [#7024](#7024) 🐛 Bug Fixes - Fixed 500ms delay when submitting chat messages [#6991](#6991) - Resolved issues with @ mention menu appearing outside the editor window [#7045](#7045) - Fixed low resolution images on low DPI screens [#7112](#7112) - Corrected language filters in rules not applying properly [#7025](#7025) 🎨 UI Enhancements - Improved repository filter dropdown functionality [#6994](#6994) - Enhanced history search interface with fixed border styling [#6983](#6983) - Simplified chat UI by removing user avatars and streamlining message presentation [#6981](#6981) **Full Comparison**: M68...M70 ``` Example output for `v1.70.1`: ``` ✨ For the full technical changelog, see [What’s new in v1.70.1](https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/blob/main/vscode/CHANGELOG.md) since v1.70.0 ✨ This minor update addresses a specific issue with Cody's agentic chat functionality. 🐛 Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue where terminal and openCtx tools were not properly registered in agentic chat, ensuring better functionality and tool availability [#7132](#7132) **Full Comparison**: M68...M70 ``` ## Test plan tested locally using `npx ts-node ./scripts/release-notes.ts` <!-- Required.
