📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release-please GitHub Actions workflow configuration is being refactored to use external JSON configuration files instead of inline parameters. Three files are modified: the workflow file is updated to reference config and manifest files, while two new JSON files define the release configuration and version information.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflow .github/workflows/release-please.yml	Replaced inline release-please parameters (release-type, package-name, bump-patch-for-minor-pre-major) with references to external configuration files (config-file and manifest-file)
Release Configuration Files .release-please-config.json, .release-please-manifest.json	Added two new configuration files: config file specifies release settings (simple type, xarray_plotly package, CHANGELOG.md path) and manifest file maps root directory to version 0.0.12

Poem

🐰 Configuration now lives in files so neat,
No inline clutter, just JSON so sweet,
Version and release, all organized right,
The rabbit hops happily into the night! ✨
