Code Review

This pull request updates the PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md by consolidating the 'Risks' and 'Manual testing done' sections into a single 'Risks / Testing' section. The feedback suggests refining the placeholder text to require risk assessment and manual testing details for all pull requests, rather than only those immediately affecting production, to ensure consistent safety and audit trails.

The conditional instruction 'if this will immediately affect production' is ambiguous and potentially risky. Even if a change is not immediately active (e.g., behind a feature flag), it still introduces code into the production environment and should be verified. Requiring this section for all pull requests ensures better visibility, safety, and a consistent audit trail.
