Add missing stable and Shader Model 6.10 preview changes since the 1.9.2607 branch point. Consolidate the duplicate Bug Fixes sections. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: f12a72d2-e956-4ca9-a301-5caca8d1b353
Leave the work graph release note in its original location and formatting so the release notes update contains only intentional additions and section cleanup. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: f12a72d2-e956-4ca9-a301-5caca8d1b353
Remove the itemized LinAlg additions so the feature owner can add the intended release-level summary when it is ready. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: f12a72d2-e956-4ca9-a301-5caca8d1b353

Missing issue/PR link?

The review bot was instructed to not allow PR links and instead link issues. So, it commented on this, but this PR doesn't seem to have an associated issue.
I'll add the PR reference back in. The bot is going to comment but it's not blocking. This will be something to follow up with in its policy for the future.
