Closes#9. .github/workflows/release.yml (workflow_call) replaces box's,
rig's and cast's release.yml: the merge door (facts -> decide -> notes ->
tag+publish+bump, every decision in a tested lib script) and the tag door
(the manual fallback and backfill, no bump). Plus lib/facts.sh (the merge
door's impure half, contract-tested against fixture repos with a stubbed
gh), the self-ref pin guard (.github/scripts/self-ref-check.sh + CI step +
tests), the release-exercise scratch caller (dry wiring), the end-to-end
script-chain rehearsal, and the caller + artifact-hook contracts in
docs/CONSUMERS.md.

The six-row decision table from issue #8 as a pure script: the workflow
gathers facts (VER, BASE_VER, RELEASED, LABELED), this script decides.
Notices/refusals ported near-verbatim from box's decide step, de-repo-ified;
design lineage box#96 / rig#47 / cast#111.

The seam that lets box/rig/incubator (a VERSION file) and cast
(package.json + lockfile sync) share every other ceremony component
unchanged. Sourced, pure (no git), fail-loud on every unreadable state.
Carries cast's pkg_version discipline (node's parser, never regex) and
its lockfile-only bump incantation; refuses pre-release arithmetic
(-dev/-rc1) per box's prefix-confusion lore. The npm-backed write test
skips locally without npm but CI sets CEREMONY_REQUIRE_NPM so the skip
is a failure there — the case can never quietly stop running.
