ci: publish releases on tag push without a changelog

[phanan]

What

• Drop --draft from the release job so a pushed v* tag publishes its release automatically.
• Drop --generate-notes so the release body stays empty.
• Remove the maintainer-only "How releases are cut" section from the README.

Why

The release job created every release as a --draft and nothing ever published them, so every franken release since the repo launched sat unpublished — invisible to anyone following the README's "download from the Releases page" instructions, with asset URLs that 404 for anonymous download. Publishing on tag push fixes that at the source.

The README's "How releases are cut" section documented internal release mechanics (draft assets, tag/version conventions, FrankenPHP pinning) that are irrelevant to users downloading a binary.

Warning

Review limit reached

@phanan, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 42 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
