fix: keep release notes to checked claims

The v2026.10.10 notes said a pack holds every file its emulators open, so
a game never stops on a missing file, and that hashes never come from a
forum list: the gap analysis lists files no pack carries, and in md5
mode a pack keeps the platform's own md5 (verification-modes.md). The
generated text and the README now point to the gap analysis, and
release_notes.py refuses a whats-new text holding a judging or
contradicted phrase.
