Greptile Summary

This PR adds a new doc/changelogs/3.6.0.md release notes file documenting all changes between 3.5.3 and 3.6.0. It is a documentation-only change with no impact on source code or runtime behaviour.

Major highlights documented:

• Breaking changes: repository rebranding from Elsa Integrations → Elsa Extensions, namespace/package renames (EFCore, ProtoActor, DevOps.GitHub), removal of EF Core projects from this repo, SQL evaluator expression syntax overhaul, and agent activity system refactoring.
• New features: Elsa.Http.OpenApi (ReDoc UI for workflow trigger endpoints), Elsa.Csv, Elsa.IO, Elsa.Logging, Microsoft Agent Framework integration, .NET 10 multi-targeting, and Azure Service Bus managed-identity overloads.
• Improvements across Quartz.NET resilience/clustering, Azure Service Bus configuration validation, MongoDB persistence, and AI/Agents extensibility.
• Bug fixes for SQL evaluator, MongoDB stores, Dapper migrations, and the drop-in workflow monitor.
• Six new contributors credited.

One minor issue: Two entries in the Full Changelog section are listed out of numerical order — #81 before #80, and #104 after #108.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• Documentation-only PR with a minor ordering issue in the changelog — safe to merge.
• This is a documentation-only PR with no code changes. The PR adds a comprehensive 3.6.0 release notes file with accurate content across all sections. One minor style issue was found: two entries in the Full Changelog section are out of numerical order (try-catch for FindManyAsync #81 before Add OpenAPI Documentation Extension for HTTP Workflow Triggers #80, and Make Quartz.NET Jobs Resilient #104 after Add Elsa.Http.OpenApi project to solution #108). This is easily correctable and does not affect the factual accuracy of the release notes.
• No files require special attention.

Two entries in the Full Changelog section are out of numerical order:

• Line 158–159: #81 appears before #80 (should be swapped)
• Line 172: #104 appears after #108 (should be placed before #105)

Reordering these entries will make the changelog easier to scan:
