ci(maintenance): Remove release comment automation#5193
Merged
Conversation
GitHub now natively links releases to issues, making our custom comment automation redundant. Remove the createComment logic from post_release.js, delete the now-unused constants.js, and trim unnecessary workflow permissions and inputs. The label-swap behavior (pending-release -> completed) is preserved. Fixes #5191 Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
