User-facing release notes for Quilt Platform 1.70.0

• https://github.com/quiltdata/deployment/pull/2439

Sourced from the rolling [Unreleased] → [1.70.0] section in t4/CHANGELOG.md on quiltdata/deployment rc. Voice / structure modeled on kb#20 (1.69).

Greptile Summary

User-facing release notes for Quilt Platform 1.70.0, covering Iceberg-backed package metadata, Glacier rehydration, expanded MCP client support (Databricks, ChatGPT, Codex), QuiltSync Autosync/tray/watcher improvements, and a quilt-cli crates.io release.

• Six feature screenshots (codex-mcp.png, iceberg_database.png, quiltsync-autosync.png, quiltsync-settings.png, rehydrate-preview.png, rehydrate-tier.png) are committed to release-media/ but are not embedded anywhere in the release notes markdown, leaving them as unreachable dead assets.
• .DS_Store (macOS Finder metadata) was accidentally committed and should be removed and added to .gitignore.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The release notes prose is accurate and well-structured, but the six media files uploaded alongside it are not embedded in the document, and a macOS .DS_Store file was accidentally included in the commit.

The markdown content is complete and follows the established pattern from 1.69, but the six screenshots added to release-media/ are orphaned — they are never referenced with ![…](…) in the document, so readers cannot see them. Additionally, .DS_Store leaks local directory metadata into the repo history. Both issues should be resolved before merging.

release-notes/1-70-0-release-notes.md (missing image embeds) and .DS_Store (should be removed and gitignored)

1. .DS_Store, line 1 (link)

   macOS metadata file committed to repository

   .DS_Store is a macOS Finder metadata file that should never be tracked in source control. Committing it causes unnecessary noise in git history and can expose local directory structure. Add .DS_Store to .gitignore (or the global gitignore) and remove it from the index with git rm --cached .DS_Store.

   Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!
