Subject: [PATCH] ci: automate releases with release-please

Conventional Commits -> version bump + CHANGELOG + GitHub Release. Merging the
auto-generated 'chore: release X.Y.Z' PR cuts the release; the workflow then
re-points the moving major tag (v1 -> vX.Y.Z). Seeded at 0.1.2; the first
release is pinned to 1.0.0 via the trailer below.

Release-As: 1.0.0
