Subject: [PATCH] Add workflow_dispatch workflow to create releases from GitHub
 UI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a "Create Release" workflow that can be triggered manually from the
Actions tab. It takes a version string, validates the format, checks for
duplicate tags, runs tests, updates manifest.json, commits, tags, and
pushes — which then triggers the existing release workflow to build and
publish the artifact.
