Subject: [PATCH] fix: auto-bump patch version when tag exists in workflow_run
 trigger
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previously, when the Release workflow was triggered by workflow_run (after CI
completes on main), it would skip the release if the current version tag already
existed. This required manual version bumps before each release.

Now, when triggered by workflow_run:
- If current version tag doesn't exist → release with current version
- If current version tag exists → auto-bump patch version, update Cargo.toml, then release

This makes releases fully automatic after merging PRs to main.
