This pull request introduces automated workflows and configuration to enforce semantic commit conventions and automate releases based on those conventions. The main changes are the addition of GitHub Actions for PR title checking and release automation, along with a .releaserc.json configuration file to define release rules and changelog formatting.

CI/CD Automation:

• Added .github/workflows/pr-title-check.yaml to automatically check that pull request titles follow semantic commit conventions, ensuring consistency and enabling automated versioning.
• Added .github/workflows/release.yaml to automate releases on every merge to main, using semantic-release to determine version bumps and generate tags based on conventional commit messages.

Release Configuration:

• Introduced .releaserc.json to configure semantic-release, specifying branch, tag format, commit analysis, changelog sections, and special handling for YAML spec changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look

These changes add repo-wide release automation (tagging and GitHub Releases) whose behavior depends on external repository settings, token permissions, and third-party action versions that warrant final human verification.

What changed in this PR

This PR introduces automated, conventional-commits–based versioning to the OpenAPI specs repository. It adds a semantic-release configuration and a GitHub Actions workflow that, on every push to main, computes the next version and creates a git tag (v${version}) plus a GitHub Release. A notable customization is an @semantic-release/exec hook that also forces a patch release whenever a root-level spec (*.yaml) changes, even if the commit type wouldn't otherwise trigger one. A second workflow validates that PR titles follow the conventional-commit format, which matters because squash-merge commit messages (used to compute versions) derive from the PR title.

Changes:

• Add .releaserc.json defining the release pipeline (commit-analyzer, exec, release-notes-generator, github) with the conventionalcommits preset and spec-change gating.
• Add release.yaml workflow that runs semantic-release via npx on push to main with least-privilege, job-scoped contents: write.
• Add pr-title-check.yaml workflow using amannn/action-semantic-pull-request to enforce conventional PR titles.

File	Description
.releaserc.json	semantic-release config; gates releases on conventional commits and root *.yaml changes via an exec git-diff hook.
.github/​workflows/​release.yaml	Push-to-main workflow that runs semantic-release to tag versions and publish GitHub Releases.
.github/​workflows/​pr-title-check.yaml	Validates PR titles as conventional commits so squash-merge versioning works correctly.
