Cut Release

Use this skill to cut an APM release from the current worktree: assess whether the cycle since the last tag warrants a patch or minor bump (semver discipline against the merged-since-last-tag diff), sanitize the [Unreleased] CHANGELOG block into a dated version block with one concise "so what" entry per merged PR (drop internal-only churn, consolidate duplicates), bump pyproject.toml + uv.lock, run the CI-mirror lint chain, and open the release PR. Activate on "ship a release", "cut v0.x", "release prep", "bump and PR", "open release PR", "what kind of release do we need", or any phrasing that ends in opening a release PR -- even when the user does not say "skill". Stops BEFORE tagging; tagging stays a human gate that triggers the release workflow. Refuses to bump to a major (>= 1.0.0) version without explicit operator confirmation.
