The previous release workflow pushed version bumps directly to main, which is blocked by branch protection rules. Split into two workflows: 1. release-prep.yml (workflow_dispatch): bumps version and opens a PR 2. release.yml (on PR merge): tags, builds, and publishes when a release/v* branch is merged to main This allows releases without needing admin bypass for github-actions[bot].

Passes github.event.pull_request.head.ref through an env variable instead of direct template expansion to satisfy zizmor audit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The release workflow currently pushes version bumps directly to
main, which fails due to branch protection rules (requires PRs, signed commits, required workflows).This splits the release into two workflows:
release-prep.yml,workflow_dispatch): bumps version and opens a PR tomainrelease.yml, auto-triggers on PR merge): when arelease/v*branch merges tomain, it tags the commit, builds all platform binaries, and publishes to npm/crates.io/PyPI/GitHub ReleasesRelease flow after this change
patch/minor/majorCloses the issue where
github-actions[bot]can't push directly to protectedmain.
