Prepare Release

Automate the Cherry Studio release workflow: collect changes → generate bilingual release notes → update files → create release branch → trigger CI/CD.

Arguments

Parse the version intent from the user's message. Accept any of these forms:

• Bump type keyword: patch, minor, major
• Exact version: strict x.y.z or x.y.z-<prerelease> without build metadata (e.g. 1.8.0, 1.8.0-beta.1, 1.8.0-rc.1)
• Natural language: "prepare a beta release", "bump to 1.8.0-rc.2", etc.

Defaults to patch if no version is specified. Always echo the resolved target version back to the user before proceeding with any file edits.

• --dry-run: Preview only, do not create a release branch.
