dan-claude-bot b6205d81c5 feat(release): CHANGELOG.md and release.yml — a tag becomes the release it claims (#32)
The PR-then-tag half of box#83's flow, rig's side. CHANGELOG.md starts
with an Unreleased section (feature PRs land their entry as part of the
PR — box's convention, now written into CONTRIBUTING alongside the
release ritual). On a tag push, release.yml asserts the bare tag equals
the tree's own VERSION — a mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing —
then creates the GitHub release with that version's changelog section as
the body, extracted by changelog_section in .github/scripts/release-lib.sh:
one function, sourced by the workflow and driven by test/release.sh
against fixtures and the shipped CHANGELOG.md itself. No assets — for a
pure-bash tree, the tag's source tarball IS the package.

# The tag half of the release flow (#32; box#83's design, near-verbatim).
# A release is a PR, then a tag: the `release: X.Y.Z` PR bumps VERSION and
# stamps CHANGELOG.md's Unreleased section with version + date; after the
# merge, the merge commit is tagged bare `X.Y.Z` (no `v` prefix — box's tag
# scheme) and the tag is pushed. This workflow turns that tag into the
# GitHub release, with the changelog section as the body — the curated
# prose, never the auto-generated PR list.
#
# No assets on purpose: for a pure-bash tree, GitHub's source tarball for
# the tag IS the package (install.sh downloads archive/refs/tags/<tag>).

push:
# Every tag, not a shape filter: a tag that mismatches VERSION must fail
# LOUDLY below, not be silently skipped by a pattern that didn't match.
