Release pipeline
This PR reworks how ZEN is versioned, built, and published. release-please now drives every release, each binding builds and publishes from a single workflow, and the Linux targets cross-compile on one runner instead of a grid of containers.
How a release flows
zen-engine-v,nodejs-v,python-v,uniffi-v- so each workflow only runs for its own component. The old "publish when the commit message says so" gates are gone.X.Y.Z-beta.N, and npm publishes those under thenexttag.Build and caching
setup-rustcomposite action that every Rust-compiling job uses. It bundles dependency and compiler caching, the zig toolchain, the target glibc, and a Windows Defender exclusion, so each workflow stays short and they don't drift apart.rust.yamlis down to test, fmt, and release. A duplicate build job and the beta-toolchain leg were removed, and tests run in debug only - more checks, faster to compile - while keeping the feature matrix that actually changes behaviour.Python
Python builds a single abi3 wheel rather than one per interpreter. The same
cp38-abi3wheel runs on CPython 3.8 and every newer 3.x, including versions that don't exist yet, so a new Python release no longer means new wheels. The Linux build is cached now, where before it had none.
