Conventional-Commit-driven version bumps (scripts/bump.py), a commit-msg validation hook, and a /release-notes workflow that produces a human-reviewed CHANGELOG.md. Adds an in-app version badge + 'What's new' dialog on the launcher. The version is single-sourced from pyproject.toml (cim_suite.__version__), and the deterministic bump backbone lives in scripts/release/ with tests in tests/release/. Marks the 1.0.0 baseline.
