Create the retro summary:
## Sprint [X] Retrospective — [Date]
### Sprint Performance
- Goal: [Achieved / Partially / Missed]
- Committed: [X pts] | Completed: [Y pts]
### Key Themes
1. [Theme] — [summary]
### Action Items
1. [Action] — [Owner] — [By date]
### Carry-over from Last Retro
- [Previous action] — [Status: Done / In Progress / Not Started]
