feedsmith release

1. Confirm the target version with me (semver; 0.x means minor bumps can break).
2. Check main is clean and CI is green: gh pr checks on the release PR, or gh run list -b main -L 3.
3. Run scripts/bump_version.py <version>. It updates src/feedsmith/__init__.py and pyproject.toml, moves the ## Unreleased section of CHANGELOG.md under the new version with today's date, commits, and creates an annotated tag. It does not push.
4. Draft the GitHub release notes from the changelog section: highlights first (two or three lines), then the full list, then "Thanks" naming first-time contributors from git shortlog.
5. Show me the notes and the git show --stat of the release commit. I push the tag myself.

The script reads GITHUB_TOKEN from .env only to look up first-time contributors through the API.
