fix(release): seed the initial release proposal

[yordis]

• Release automation must retain the v0.0.1 pre-major baseline to avoid Release Please treating a breaking bootstrap as v1.0.0.
• Release automation must include at least one release-driving commit after its exclusive bootstrap boundary.
• Invalid bootstrap ranges should fail CI instead of silently succeeding without a release pull request.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Changes only release-metadata CI and Release Please config; no runtime application or security paths are modified.

Overview
Updates release automation so the first Release Please cycle can run safely and CI catches bad bootstrap setup.

release-please-config.json moves bootstrap-sha to 6bc330163dda19d4953154d9c20958486e8be09e, resetting the exclusive bootstrap boundary so history after that point drives the initial release (keeping the intended v0.0.1 pre-major baseline instead of treating the bootstrap as a breaking jump to v1.0.0).

.config/mise/tasks/release-metadata/check adds a gate after verifying the bootstrap commit exists: commits in bootstrap_sha..HEAD must include at least one release-driving conventional subject matching feat or fix (with optional scope). Otherwise the script fails with a clear error instead of letting CI pass when Release Please would never open a release PR.

Walkthrough

The release metadata check now requires a release-driving feat or fix commit between the configured bootstrap SHA and HEAD. Release configuration and project version values now use the updated bootstrap SHA and 0.0.0 baseline.

Changes

Release metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release gate and version baseline .config/mise/tasks/release-metadata/check, release-please-config.json, .release-please-manifest.json, src/Directory.Build.props, version.txt	The release check validates feat and fix conventional commits in the bootstrap range. The bootstrap SHA and version values are updated to the new release baseline.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5a7e8

The release bootstrap may create the wrong initial version, and valid uppercase-scoped release commits may be rejected, potentially preventing the automated release pull request. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded release-automation issues are corrected or explicitly accepted.

A rabbit reads each line,
The patch grows clear beneath the moon,
Small changes hop in place,
Tests guard the garden path,
Reviews bloom before the dawn.
