build(deps): run python-semantic-release through uvx

[PascalRepond]

• python-semantic-release pins certain packages and contains dependencies that are never used by our project.
• As it is only used for the release workflow, we can run it from an isolated uvx environment instead of the dev group: its dependency tree no longer constrain our project or make it unnecessarily heavier.
• The release workflow no longer needs to install the whole project, uvx brings semantic-release on its own to cut a release.

Walkthrough

The release workflow no longer synchronizes project dependencies before release. It runs semantic-release through uvx using the latest published python-semantic-release package. Changelog, version, and release tasks use the same isolated execution method. The python-semantic-release development dependency was removed.

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

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to a8733

The release workflow currently uses invalid package syntax, so release commands are expected to fail, and it downloads an unpinned release tool with credentials that can modify repository release state. Merge should be blocked until the command syntax is fixed and the release tool is pinned to a reviewed version or immutable artifact.
