Summary
Fixes: #308809
Prevents release notes from auto-opening in the agent sessions app after a version update.
Change
Adds
'update.showReleaseNotes': falseto the sessions app configuration defaults inconfiguration.contribution.ts. This follows the same pattern used to suppress the welcome page ('workbench.startupEditor': 'none') — a targeted config override that disables the behavior while keeping the rest of the update machinery (notifications, quality switching, etc.) intact.ProductContributionalready checks this setting before opening release notes, so no additional code changes are needed.
