 ## Pull Requests
 
-When creating a pull request, follow `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`.
+When creating a pull request, follow `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` exactly:
+
+- Remove all `<!-- -->` comments.
+- Omit sections that are not applicable (Ticket Link, Screenshots) — do not write N/A, just remove the header.
+- The `#### Release Note` header and its "```release-note" fenced code block **must always be present** (WITHOUT escaping the ``` characters). Write `NONE` if the change has no API, schema, UI, or breaking changes.
