fix(release): annotate version tag + correct release push instructions (#1517)

- set-version: create the release tag with `git tag -a -m` instead of a
  lightweight `git tag`, which fails ("no tag message?") when a contributor has
  tag.forceSignAnnotated / required-annotation set globally — it silently broke
  the v0.6.107 tag step.
- CONTRIBUTING: replace `git push origin main --tags` (pushes every local tag →
  whole push rejected on any pre-existing collision) with pushing the specific
  tag, and document the monotonicity guard (stale higher tag blocks tagging).

> Push the **specific tag**, not `git push --tags` — the latter pushes every local tag and the whole push is rejected if any one already exists on the remote.
The `release:prepare` script drafts missing release notes on the first run and stops for manual review. After the generated TODO summary is rewritten, rerun the same command; it delegates to `set-version`, which creates a `chore: release v<version>` commit and a `v<version>` git tag. Pushing the tag triggers CI to publish all packages to npm and create a GitHub Release.
`set-version` also refuses to tag if a **higher** semver tag already exists (a stale higher tag would hijack tag-sorting installers like `npx skills`). Delete the stray tag (`git tag -d <tag> && git push origin :refs/tags/<tag>`) or, only if intentional, pass `--skip-monotonicity-check`.
### Pre-releases (alpha / beta / rc)
Use a pre-release suffix to publish to a named npm dist-tag instead of `latest`:
