Adds scripts/release.sh and `make release VERSION=x.y.z` for cutting manual releases when features warrant a specific semver (e.g., minor bump for a new language). The script validates preconditions, updates CHANGELOG.md, commits, tags, and pushes — triggering the existing build and release workflows. Weekly cron builds continue to handle routine patch bumps automatically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

When significant features are merged (e.g., a new language ecosystem), the developer needs to manually cut a release with the correct semver. Previously there was no script or documented process — features sat unreleased on main waiting for the weekly cron patch bump.
