* chore: improve release script for branch protection
- Create PR for version bump instead of direct push to main
- Wait for CI checks before merging
- Auto-merge PR and create signed tag
- Better error handling and gh CLI validation
- Works with GitHub branch protection rules
* chore(ci): create draft releases for manual release notes
Release notes should be descriptive, not auto-generated commit lists.
The workflow now creates a DRAFT release with a template.
User edits the release notes following the style guide, then publishes.
