PR Summary

Low Risk
Single CI input on the existing release job; no application, auth, or data-path changes.

Overview
The release workflow’s changesets step now sets commitMode: github-api, so version/release commits are created through the GitHub API instead of a local git push.

That matches the workflow’s use of a GitHub App token (already required so “Version Packages” PRs can trigger other workflows), and should make changesets commits behave like other API-driven updates for downstream CI.
