Subject: [PATCH] fix(templates): revert gomplate version auto-padding, use
 manual comment instead

splitList is not available in the gomplate version used by CI.
Revert to the HTML comment reminder so the version param is
filled in manually post-generation with zero-padded format.

Existing release notes already normalized in previous commit.
