+- For PRs that close issues, include both the issue number and the PR number and authors: "- Fix: Description (#123 by @reporter, PR #456 by @contributor)"
+- For PRs without linked issues, include the PR number and author: "- Add support for feature (PR #456 by @contributor)"
 - Provide brief descriptions of each item to explain the change
 - Order the list from most important to least important
 - Example formats:
-    - With issue: "- Fix: Resolve memory leak in extension (#456 by @issueReporter, PR by @prAuthor)"
-    - Without issue: "- Add support for Gemini 2.5 Pro caching (thanks @contributor!)"
+    - With issue: "- Fix: Resolve memory leak in extension (#456 by @issueReporter, PR #789 by @prAuthor)"
+    - Without issue: "- Add support for Gemini 2.5 Pro caching (PR #789 by @contributor)"
