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.

Release Management Optimization

Created: 2026-01-06 Status: Planning → Ready to implement Priority: High (blocks v0.10.0 release)

Quick Summary

Enhance release management with robust validation using the schema system we just built. Creates a perfect showcase: validate CHANGELOG.md with a changelog schema.

Critical Issues Found

setuptools-scm bug: Missing tag_regex → markitect --version returns "unknown"
Missing v0.9.0 tag: CHANGELOG says v0.9.0 released but git tag never created
No validation: No checks for CHANGELOG format or version-tag consistency

Solution

Create changelog-schema-v1.0.md to validate Keep a Changelog format, integrate into release workflow. Demonstrates schema evolution in action!

Staged Approach

Stage 1 (45 min): Critical fixes → unblock v0.10.0 release
Stage 2 (2.5 hrs): CHANGELOG schema → showcase feature
Stage 3 (2 hrs): Release tooling enhancements
Stage 4 (optional): Schema extensions (hooks/agents)

Recommended: Standard Track (Stages 1-3) = 5 hours for production-ready release management

Philosophy

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

Release v0.10.0 becomes: The release that validates itself 🎯
