did changing from output to env fix this, or is this just what the practice is supposed to be?

I thought they were the same place

Official documentation mentions multiline strings only with $GITHUB_ENV. I assume it's the desired way to pass multiline strings through the pipeline.

And yeah, both $GITHUB_OUTPUT and $GITHUB_ENV are paths to some magic files, but it's different files.

echo "$PR_BODY" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "EOF" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- name: Extract Changelog
id: extract_changelog
shell: bash
run: |-
set -x
PR_BODY=${{ steps.fetch_pr_body.outputs.pr_body}}
PR_BODY=${{ env.pr_body}}
if [[ $PR_BODY = "null" ]]; then
echo "No PR body exists for this commit, so a release cannot be generated."
exit 1
