docs: add release process documentation

[Copilot]

Added documentation section describing the automated release workflow for vbl-aquarium.

Changes

• Added "Deploying New Releases" section to docs/home/development.md
• Documents tag-based release trigger (v* pattern)
• Describes automated pipeline: Hatch build → PyPI publish → GitHub release creation
• Includes pre-release detection logic (versions containing a, b, c, or d)

The workflow is triggered by:

git tag v<version>
git push origin v<version>

References the release workflow for implementation details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• docs.pydantic.dev
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/.local/share/hatch/env/virtual/vbl-aquarium/sNmpyHd7/docs/bin/mkdocs mkdocs build (dns block)
• docs.python.org
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/.local/share/hatch/env/virtual/vbl-aquarium/sNmpyHd7/docs/bin/mkdocs mkdocs build (dns block)
• ephys-link.virtualbrainlab.org
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

add a section to the dev documentation that describes how publishing new version vbl-aquarium is a tag push using the desired version number and an action will build from main, publish to pypi, and make a new github release. Use the documentation here as an example: https://ephys-link.virtualbrainlab.org/development/#deploying-new-releases
