Adopt shared reusable workflows across Adapt repos

[swashbuck]

Subject of the enhancement

Adopt the shared reusable workflows from adaptlearning/semantic-release-config across Adapt repositories, so release and add-to-project automation is maintained in one place instead of being duplicated in every repo.

Dependency / status

This rollout is gated on adaptlearning/semantic-release-config#12 (add a reusable addtomainproject.yml, PR #13). We will not start swapping repos until that reusable workflow is approved and merged, so both workflows can be migrated together in a single pass per repo.

What this covers

Replace each repo's two inline workflows with thin callers of the shared reusable workflows.

.github/workflows/releases.yml:

name: Release

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

permissions:
  contents: write
  issues: write
  pull-requests: write
  id-token: write

jobs:
  release:
    uses: adaptlearning/semantic-release-config/.github/workflows/release.yml@master

.github/workflows/addtomainproject.yml:

name: Add to main project

on:
  issues:
    types:
      - opened
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  add-to-project:
    uses: adaptlearning/semantic-release-config/.github/workflows/addtomainproject.yml@master
    secrets: inherit

The permissions: block is required in the release caller (GitHub Actions grants only the permissions explicitly listed once the key is present). The add-to-project caller needs secrets: inherit so the reusable workflow can read ADDTOPROJECT_TOKEN.

Scope and approach

• Workflows only. Each repo keeps its existing inline release config in package.json. This is behaviour-preserving: the reusable release workflow simply runs npx semantic-release against the repo's own config, so migration version-stamping and bower.json sync are unaffected.
• Trial first. Once Feature/8687 #12 lands, start with a single repo (adapt-component), review the result, then proceed in batches.
• Per repo: branch, swap both workflows, open a Chore: PR, review, merge. No release is cut by the workflow change itself (a Chore commit produces no release under the ESLint preset).

Out of scope

• Shared config extends. Adopting "extends": "@adaptlearning/semantic-release-config" in package.json is deliberately excluded: the shared config does not yet include the migrations semantic-release-replace-plugin or bower.json in its git assets, so switching plugin repos to it would break migration stamping and bower sync. Revisit once the shared config covers those.
