04·CI/CD and release automation

Why use release-please or semantic-release in CI?

• Commercial tools only, not OSS.
• Enforce SemVer (PEP 440 is deprecated).
• Generate GitHub Discussions per release.
• They automate versioning + CHANGELOG from conventional commits (feat:, fix:, BREAKING CHANGE:). A PR proposes a version and changelog, merge = tag + release.
