This seems contradictory to the instruction above not to review these PRs — consider combining these instructions?

- Specifies that only
CHANGELOG.mdandpackage.jsonshould be reviewed in release PRs

- Grammar inconsistency: 'start with two underscores' should be 'that start with two underscores' for consistency with the first usage in the sentence.
GitHub Actions workflows in the `.github/workflows` directory whose filenames start with two underscores (e.g. `__all-platform-bundle.yml`) are automatically generated using the `pr-checks/sync.sh` script from template files in the `pr-checks/checks` directory. Therefore, you do not need to review files in the `.github/workflows` directory that start with two underscores. However, you should review changes to the `pr-checks` directory as well as workflows in the `.github/workflows` directory that do not start with underscores.
