[POST-RELEASE][ALPHA]: Implement PR-based release flow #268

Description

@victoria-mckinney

Use a PR-based release flow (proper fix)

Updaterelease.yml so the version bump goes through a PR instead of pushing directly. Replace the "Commit version bump" step with:

      - name: Create release PR
        uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v6
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          commit-message: "release: bump version to ${{ env.VERSION }}"
          branch: "release/${{ env.VERSION }}"
          title: "release: v${{ env.VERSION }}"
          body: "Automated version bump to ${{ env.VERSION }}"
          sign-commits: true

Then merge the PR manually (or auto-merge), and create the tag/release after merge. This is more work upfront but plays nicely with branch protection rules long-term.
