Straight answer: there's nothing to market externally
This PR changes a CI workflow file. It ships no clinic-facing feature, no UI, no API. A dentist, a receptionist, or a patient using Dentolize will never encounter it, directly or indirectly. If asked "what's new this release," this item doesn't belong in a customer-facing changelog.
Where it is worth a line: the internal engineering channel
If your organization keeps an internal engineering update (a Slack channel, a weekly eng newsletter), this is a reasonable one-liner for it:
PR sandboxes now inherit team-wide defaults (WhatsApp/queue/cron toggles, shared test secrets) from a shared GitHub Environment, instead of every PR having to configure everything from scratch in its own description.
Keep the framing honest and narrow:
- Do say it reduces repetitive PR-description boilerplate for engineers
who open sandbox-backed PRs regularly.
- Do say shared test secrets no longer need to be pasted into a PR
description as a secret:<NAME> reference for common cases — the team default handles it.
- Don't say it "adds new security" or "encrypts secrets" — the
secret:<NAME> resolution and the github_token guardrail already existed before this PR; see Secrets and safety guardrails. This PR extends where defaults can come from, not what protects them.
- Don't call the new
sandboxdeployment marker a gate or an approval
step — it explicitly isn't one (see The sandbox GitHub Environment).
