Setup release-please

Sets up release-please via release-please-action. How it works, release types, config options, first-run bootstrapping: the official READMEs — consult them instead of guessing.

Steps

1. Already set up? grep -rl release-please .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null — a hit: skip to step 3, verify settings only.

2. Install the workflow at .github/workflows/release.yml. Substitute the trunk (git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | sed 's|^origin/||', fallback main); release type node when package.json exists, else simple:

   name: Release
   
   on:
     push:
       branches: [main]
