 ## Project Structure & Module Organization
-`videostrip_core/` contains the C++17 extraction engine (feature detection, metadata writers, logging). `videostrip_cli/` builds the command-line entry point exported to `build/bin/videostrip_cli`. `videostrip_utils/` hosts shared helpers; `videostrip_gui/` is an experimental viewer. Pipeline templates for Meshroom live under `meshroom/`, sample YAML configs under `configs/`, and generated docs/manpages under `doc/`. Keep CMake build artifacts in `build/` and add new tests beside the existing Catch2 suites in `tests/`.

+Release Notes Draft
+
+  # videostrip v0.9.2 — 2025-09-25
+
+  ## Highlights
+  - Completed the Meshroom integration split: all node templates and scripts now live in the new [videostrip-meshroom](https://github.com/cappelletto/videostrip-
+  meshroom) repository, keeping this tree focused on the core extractor and CLI.
+  - Added `scripts/todo2issues.py`, a GitHub CLI helper that turns structured sections in `doc/TODO.md` into labelled issues (supports dry-run, milestone
+  assignment, and cross-repo targeting).
+
+  ## Breaking Changes
+  - Meshroom node assets (`meshroom/` and `doc/TODO.md` entries tied to them) have been removed from this repository. Clone `videostrip-meshroom` alongside
+  `videostrip` if you rely on Meshroom pipelines.
+
+  ## Enhancements
+  - Promoted the bundled `args.hxx` header to `third_party/args.hxx` and rewired include paths in the CLI/core targets, simplifying packaging and making the
+  dependency boundary explicit.
+  - Pruned the unused `videostrip_utils` module to reduce build surface area.
+
+  ## Documentation
+  - README now opens with the Meshroom migration notice, refreshed build/usage guidance, and a direct link to the contributing guide.
+  - AGENTS.md updated to reference the new Meshroom repository and keep contributor roles accurate.
+
+  ## Maintenance
+  - TODO backlog cleaned while moving Meshroom work items into issue automation.
+  - Version bumped to 0.9.2 in CMake to anchor release artifacts.
+
+  ## Upgrade Notes
+  - Consumers who automated Meshroom flows should fetch `videostrip-meshroom` and update any paths that previously referenced `meshroom/` inside this repo.
+  - To try the TODO automation, install GitHub CLI, then run:
+    ```bash
+    python scripts/todo2issues.py --todo doc/TODO.md --owner <github-org> --dry-run
+    ```
