t1441: unblock patch releases from historical preflight debt

[marcusquinn]

Summary

• Add a patch-specific release preflight that compares current findings against the latest tag instead of failing on historical repository debt.
• Limit patch preflight checks to new secretlint findings and changed shell scripts, with a fallback to the full preflight when no baseline tag exists.
• Expose a standalone preflight [major|minor|patch] command and route release through the bump-type-aware preflight path.

Closes #4145

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the release process by introducing a more intelligent and targeted preflight mechanism, particularly for patch releases. It shifts from a comprehensive historical check to a focused regression analysis, ensuring that only new issues introduced since the last release are flagged. This change aims to streamline patch releases by preventing them from being blocked by pre-existing issues, while also providing developers with a flexible command to run specific preflight checks.

Highlights

• Patch Release Preflight: Implemented a patch-specific release preflight that compares current findings against the latest Git tag, avoiding historical repository debt.
• Targeted Checks: Restricted patch preflight checks to new secretlint findings and modified shell scripts, with a fallback to full preflight if no baseline tag exists.
• New Preflight Command: Introduced a standalone preflight [major|minor|patch] command and integrated it into the release command's preflight path.

Changelog

• .agents/scripts/version-manager.sh
  • Refactored run_preflight_checks to support different bump types.
  • Added new functions for secretlint configuration, output normalization, and finding capture.
  • Implemented run_patch_release_preflight for targeted patch release checks.
  • Integrated the new preflight logic into the main release flow.
  • Exposed a new preflight command for direct execution of preflight checks.
