docs: CLAUDE.md — document the release flow + canonical prompts

Adds a Releases section so future Claude sessions (and teammates) don't
have to rediscover the release workflow. Documents:

- The single entry point: `./scripts/release.sh <ver> [--draft]`
- What the script does end-to-end
- The release notes convention (write them before running)
- A handful of canonical prompts the user can type
- Pointers to deeper prerequisite docs (README, script header)

Deliberately brief — detail lives in README and the personal auto-memory
at reference_release_process.md. CLAUDE.md's job here is just to make
the entry point discoverable on session start.

## Releases
Shipped via a single local script. **Never run manual `xcodebuild archive` / `notarytool` / `gh release create` steps — use the script so nothing is skipped or misordered.**
```bash
./scripts/release.sh <version> # full release: notarize → appcast → gh-pages → tag
./scripts/release.sh <version> --draft # draft: everything builds + notarizes, but appcast/tag are skipped
```
The script bumps version, archives Universal (arm64 + x86_64) + ARM64-only variants, signs with Developer ID, notarizes via `xcrun notarytool` (keychain profile `scarf-notary`), staples, EdDSA-signs the appcast entry with Sparkle's key, pushes the appcast to `gh-pages`, and creates a GitHub release with both zips attached. Draft mode stops after the release is uploaded so the current version stays "latest" until explicitly promoted.
**Release notes convention:** write them to `releases/v<version>/RELEASE_NOTES.md` BEFORE running the script — it's auto-included in the version-bump commit and used as the GitHub release body. If absent, a placeholder is used.
**Canonical prompts (any of these trigger the flow):**
- "Release v1.6.2" — full release
- "Release v1.6.2 as draft" — draft mode
- "Prepare v1.6.2 release notes from recent commits, then release" — generate notes first, then run
**Prerequisites (one-time, already set up on Alan's machine):** Developer ID Application cert in login Keychain (team `3Q6X2L86C4`), notarytool keychain profile `scarf-notary`, Sparkle EdDSA private key in Keychain item `https://sparkle-project.org`, `gh-pages` branch + GitHub Pages enabled. See the header of [scripts/release.sh](scripts/release.sh) and the Releases section in [README.md](README.md) for details.
## Hermes Version
Targets Hermes v0.9.0 (v2026.4.13). Log lines may carry an optional `[session_id]` tag between the level and logger name — `HermesLogService.parseLine` treats the session tag as an optional capture group, so older untagged lines still parse.
