ci(release): stop GitHub adding a co-author trailer to every pin commit

[GeiserX]

Every release's pin-bump PR lands on main with a Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] trailer (#347, #371). No commit in this repository carries a trailer, and this one was not written by anyone: the workflow merges the PR with --auto and no message, so GitHub composes the squash commit and adds it.

The merge now names its subject and reuses the PR's own body. A test reads the step and fails if the merge ever loses its body again.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now passes an explicit body and subject to the squash merge. The subject includes the pull request number. A test validates the generated merge command and checks that no co-author trailer is included.

Changes

Release merge metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow merge metadata and validation .github/workflows/release.yml, tests/test_beads_batch_65.py	The workflow reuses PR_BODY for pull request creation and merging. It derives PR_NUMBER from PR_URL and sets an explicit squash subject. The test validates both arguments, the body usage count, and the absence of Co-authored-by.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 12e3f

The workflow behavior is implemented, but a subject regression could pass the test; strengthen the assertion before merging.
