The stable 12.0.0 / config 11.0.0 breaking-change notes still said unknown .npmrc keys throw. That was reverted before the stable cut (npm#9729): file configs warn by default again, with strict-npmrc to opt into errors, while unknown CLI flags and abbreviations still throw. Align the published changelog bullets with the corrected pre.1 wording from npm#9733 so release notes match actual npm 12 behavior. Fixes npm#9802

Summary
Fixes #9802.
Before the npm 12 stable cut, #9729 restored warn-by-default for unknown
.npmrckeys (withstrict-npmrcto opt into errors). #9733 updated the12.0.0-pre.1changelog bullet to match, but the aggregated stable12.0.0/@npmcli/config@11.0.0breaking-change notes (and the config package'spre.1note) still said unknown.npmrcconfigs throw.That stale line also shipped in the published v12.0.0 GitHub release notes.
This aligns those changelog bullets with the corrected wording:
Maintainers may also want to refresh the published
v12.0.0release body to match; that cannot be updated via this PR alone.References
