chore: release workflow no longer requires a manual title - #15
Merged
Conversation
The workflow_dispatch form asked for both `version` and `title`, but `title` was only ever used to build the CHANGELOG heading (## vX.Y.Z – <title> (date)) — an extra manual field for something meant to be a quick trigger. Dropped it: the heading is now just `## vX.Y.Z (date)`, and the actual release notes still come verbatim from the Unreleased section's own content, unchanged. `version` stays manual since a semver bump is a real judgment call.
