ci(release): derive the version from commit subjects, and add a manual backdoor
A bundle used to cost a second pull request whose entire content was a number.
The workflow published only when a merge to `main` left `module.json` at a
version with no release yet, so a merge that did not touch that line released
nothing. Measured rather than argued: v0.3.0 (2026-08-12) is the only release
this repo has ever cut, while the nine Teams phases and the cutover landed on
`main` in the week since.

Adopt the engine `link` and `installer` already run - feat!/BREAKING CHANGE ->
major, feat -> minor, fix|perf -> patch, nothing releasable -> no release. The
number that ships is the tag, and CI writes it into the `module.json` inside the
bundle, with an assertion that the rewrite happened: a bundle carrying the wrong
version would install under a number that is not the one it was released as.

`module.json`'s version is kept as a floor rather than deleted - a version above
the newest tag still releases at that version - so the declared model survives as
the special case it always was, and is still how a `coreApi` bump overrules the
subjects. `workflow_dispatch` covers what the rules cannot reach: leave `version`
blank to bump the newest tag by `bump`, or name an exact version. Where the log
and the input disagree the larger bump wins, because a button pressed on a log
full of `feat:` would otherwise publish its `patch` default over a minor's worth
of work.

Two things carried over from `link` at the same time: a tag pushed without a
release behind it is now recovered rather than making that state permanent, and
the changelog moved into the plan step (so the assemble step clears `$OUT`, not
`dist/`, which now holds it).

On this repo's `main` the engine computes v0.4.0. The workflow still never
writes to a branch.

# Build and publish the installable bundle: `module-uo-<version>.tar.gz` plus the
# manifest carrying its sha256 (docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.3, §2.5).
#
# ── What a release IS here ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
#
# **An operator never builds anything** (MODULE_SYSTEM.md §1.14 — the constraint
# the whole module system is shaped around). So a release is not source: it is the
# directory core's loader expects to find at `modules/uo/`, already assembled —
# the prebuilt client chunk, the one runtime dependency installed, the schema
# fragment and the OpenAPI fragment — packed as it will be unpacked. Phase 4's
# admin install downloads the tarball, verifies it against the `sha256` in the
# manifest, and unpacks it onto the volume. Nothing runs `npm` on the way.
#
# ── The version is DERIVED, and the declaration is a floor ──────────────────
#
# This file used to release only when a merge to `main` left `module.json` at a
# version with no release yet — the version DECLARED, never computed, on the
# argument that two sources for one number is how they drift. That was true and
# it was still the wrong trade: it makes every bundle cost a second reviewed PR
# whose entire content is a number, and between 2026-08-12 and 2026-08-19 it cost
# this repo *every* bundle — v0.3.0 was the only release while nine phases of
# Teams work landed, because nothing in them touched that line.
#
# So the engine `link` and `installer` already run is adopted here (MODULE_SYSTEM
# §2.7.1, decision 19 as amended):
#
# feat!: / BREAKING CHANGE -> major feat: -> minor fix|perf: -> patch
# nothing releasable -> no release is cut
# (first ever run, no tag) -> releases what module.json declares
#
# **The declared version is kept as a floor, not deleted.** If `module.json` names
# a version above the newest tag, that version releases — which is the old model
# exactly, surviving as the special case it always was. Raising it by hand is
# still how you say "this one is a minor, whatever the subjects imply", and it is
# still the natural place to move when a `coreApi` bump forces the question. What
# no longer happens is a merge full of `feat:` producing nothing.
#
# The number that ships is therefore the TAG, and CI writes it into the
# `module.json` inside the bundle at assembly time. The committed `module.json` is
# a floor and a starting point, not a record of the last release — `link` reached
# the same arrangement with `Cargo.toml`, for the same reason: a release engine
# that has to commit a bump back to `main` stops working the day someone protects
# the branch, and this one is protected.
#
# ── The backdoor ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
#
# `workflow_dispatch` publishes on demand, for the case the rules above cannot
# reach: `module.json` changed in a way worth shipping — a widened `coreApi`, a
# new mount, a capability — with no releasable code behind it. Leave `version`
# blank to bump the newest tag by `bump` (default `patch`), or name an exact
# version to publish that. A dispatch releases even when nothing in the log is
# releasable; that is the entire point of pressing the button.
#
# Re-running on a version that is already released is a no-op, so a rerun after an
# unrelated failure is safe. A tag that exists with no release behind it is NOT a
# no-op — see the recovery branch in the plan step.
#
# This workflow still never writes to a branch. It tags and publishes, so `main`
# needs no push exception.
#
# Prerequisites (Settings → Actions → Secrets on RunicGateway/Module-uo):
