Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): add daily automated version bump and changelog
 workflow

Add version-bump.yml: daily git-cliff semver bump on dev (version files, uv.lock, prepended CHANGELOG entry, tag). Switch release.yml gate to compare against latest GitHub release instead of latest tag, since every bump is now tagged. Allow .github/ through the hidden-dir gitignore rule.
