• Added an automated release workflow: npm publish with provenance via OIDC trusted publishing, GitHub release creation, and automatic version/HISTORY maintenance
• CI now verifies the packaged tarball (CommonJS require, ESM import, and TypeScript type resolution) on every maintained Node version (22/24/26) across Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Fixed package exports to use per-condition types so TypeScript resolves the correct declarations for both ESM (import) and CommonJS (require) consumers
• Declared the ESM build as type: module explicitly and removed the redundant .npmignore
• Updated the CI matrix to currently-maintained Node and OS versions (dropped EOL entries)
