dan-claude-bot 0a03fc592b fix(release): drop test-at-tag from release.yml — ci.yml is the gate
The release job ran `npm run check` and `npm test` on a bare runner
with no `age` installed — ci.yml apt-installs it because the secrets
tests round-trip a real age identity, so the first real tag push would
have died at `npm test` and minted no release. The job now does exactly
what the flow (cast#96 / box#83) assigns it: `npm ci && npm run build
&& npm prune --omit=dev`, tar, `gh release create` — check and tests
already gated the merge commit the tag points at.

Also aligns CHANGELOG.md with the family preamble ("History before
0.1.0 lives in git") and with the workflow's actual build steps.

# Changelog
History before 0.1.0 lives in git. Feature PRs land their entry in
`## Unreleased` as part of the PR; a release PR stamps that section with
the version and date (see cast#96 — the release flow shared with
heavy-duty/box#83).
## Unreleased
### Added
- **Versioned installs: tagged releases with a prebuilt dist asset** (#96) —
cast now has a release surface. `cast --version` prints the version from
`package.json` (the single source of truth — no separate `VERSION` file)
plus the install root. On a bare `X.Y.Z` tag push, `release.yml` asserts
the tag matches `package.json`, builds once in CI (`npm ci`, `npm run
build`, `npm prune --omit=dev`), tars the runnable tree into
`cast-X.Y.Z.tgz`, and creates the GitHub release with that version's
changelog section as the body and the tarball attached. The installer now
defaults to the **latest release asset** — resolved via the
`releases/latest` redirect, no API, no token — so a default install
compiles nothing on the operator's machine and answers "what cast is
this?" with a version. `CAST_REF=X.Y.Z` pins (uses that tag's asset when
it exists), `CAST_REF=main` stays the dev channel: build-from-source,
exactly the old path.
