Summary

Configure release-plz's changelog header so the regenerated CHANGELOG.md
keeps  as its first line.

Rationale

release-plz rewrites CHANGELOG.md from its own template on every release. With
no [changelog] config it used the default # Changelog preamble and dropped
the copyright comment that had been added to the file. The Rust CI job runs
just copyright-headers as its first step, and scripts/copyright-headers.sh
requires the Copyright 2026 John Wilger header within the first five lines of
every *.md file — so the generated release PR (#118) failed CI before any
tests ran. Pinning the changelog header to start with the copyright comment
makes every future release PR satisfy the header check while preserving the
existing Keep-a-Changelog body format.

Verification

release-plz update (run locally in the dev shell) regenerates CHANGELOG.md
with  on line 1, the standard preamble,
and the unchanged ## [x.y.z](compare) - date + ### Added/Fixed sections.
scripts/copyright-headers.sh --check and cargo fmt --all --check pass.

release-plz regenerated CHANGELOG.md with its default `# Changelog` preamble,
dropping the `<!-- Copyright 2026 John Wilger -->` line. `just copyright-headers`
(first step of Rust CI) requires that header within the first five lines, so
every release PR failed CI. Configure the release-plz changelog header to start
with the copyright comment.
