tegwick 75c8f8c325 docs: add release summary and optimization assessment

Added comprehensive documentation to release-management-optimization topic:

**RELEASE_SUMMARY.md**:
- Complete v0.10.0 release documentation
- Build artifacts, testing results, validation status
- Git statistics and file changes
- Next steps and manual actions required

**OPTIMIZATION_ASSESSMENT.md**:
- Post-release analysis of what worked vs. issues
- Identified 8 optimization opportunities across 3 priority levels
- Detailed Stage 3 implementation recommendations
- Three options for next steps (Complete Stage 3, Quick Wins, or Move On)

**Key Finding**: Forgot to push tags (git push doesn't include tags by default)
**Action Required**: `git push --tags` to push v0.9.0 and v0.10.0 tags

**Recommendation**: Implement Stage 3 (2 hours) for automated validation
and tag pushing to prevent similar issues in future releases.

MarkiTect v0.10.0 Release Summary

Release Date: 2026-01-06 Tag: v0.10.0 Philosophy: "The release that validates itself"

Overview

Successfully completed v0.10.0 release featuring the Schema Evolution system with a practical showcase: a CHANGELOG schema that validates its own version history file using the schema system it just built.

Release Stages Completed

✅ Stage 1: Critical Fixes (~45 minutes)

Problem: Version detection broken, missing git tags, release blocked

Solutions:

Fixed setuptools-scm Configuration (pyproject.toml)
- Added: git_describe_command = "git describe --tags --long --match 'v*'"
- Filters out non-version tags preventing setuptools-scm crashes
- markitect --version now works: returns 0.10.0 (previously "unknown")
Retroactive v0.9.0 Git Tag
- Created annotated tag on commit b9c1b90 (2025-11-14)
- Restored version history integrity
- CHANGELOG documented v0.9.0 but tag was missing
CHANGELOG.md Updated
- Created [0.10.0] - 2026-01-06 section
- Documented all fixes and features
- Moved Unreleased content to v0.10.0

✅ Stage 2: CHANGELOG Schema (~90 minutes)

Features Implemented:

x-markitect-sections (7 classifications)
- Added/Changed/Deprecated/Removed/Fixed/Security: optional

Philosophy Achievement

"Use the tools we build to improve the tools we build."

This release achieves the meta-level goal:

✅ v0.10.0 uses its own schema system to validate its CHANGELOG.md
✅ Perfect demonstration of dogfooding infrastructure
✅ Real-world showcase of x-markitect extensions
✅ Practical proof-of-concept for schema evolution

Deferred Work

Stage 3: Release Capability Enhancements

CHANGELOG validation in ReleaseManager
Version-tag consistency checking
Explicit markitect version command
Status: Deferred to future enhancement
Reason: v0.10.0 release unblocked, showcase complete

Stage 4: Schema System Extensions

System call hooks (x-markitect-validation-hooks)
Agent validation (x-markitect-validation-agents)
Status: Not needed for current use case
Reason: Pure schema validation sufficient

Next Steps (Manual)

Push to origin (requires authentication):

git push origin main
git push origin v0.9.0 v0.10.0

Publish packages (if configured):
```
release upload --registry pypi
```
Create GitHub/Gitea release (if applicable):
- Use v0.10.0 tag
- Attach wheel and tarball
- Copy CHANGELOG v0.10.0 section as release notes
