branch.sh, finish.sh, release.sh, runner-image.sh and release-notes.sh
carried multi-paragraph 'how we got here / rejected' essays in comments. They
now live in the matching development/ category file, and each script keeps a
one-line pointer so the rationale is single-homed and cannot drift.
The publish job now opens a Gitea release for the tag, using the
matching Keep-a-Changelog section as the body via scripts/release-notes.sh.
It runs before npm publish so a broken page fails CI without burning an
npm version; npm publish stays the last step.
Uses the first-party gitea-release-action (the older actions/release-action
is deprecated and requires asset files) and contents: write for the run's
automatic token.
