Description

Renovate PRs were merged without producing a new release; this PR adds explicit guidance for forcing the next minor release.
It updates release docs so maintainers can intentionally trigger semantic-release with a feat: commit when changes are maintenance-only.

  • Release docs update
    • Added one line in README.md under Releases to document the bump path for Renovate-only merge sequences.
  • Behavior clarified
    • Makes the existing release contract explicit: feat: => minor version bump.
If you need to force a minor version bump after maintenance-only changes (for example, Renovate dependency updates), create a PR with a `feat:` commit message.

Motivation and Context

Recent dependency-update merges did not produce a version bump, creating release drift.
This change makes the release-trigger mechanism explicit to avoid repeating that gap.

Breaking Changes

No.
