feat(release): implement release agent and validation infrastructure

Implements all critical release automation components to fix blocking issues.

## Changes

### Release Agent (✅ Implemented)
- Implement `.github/agents/release.agent.cjs` - Complete release automation
  - Validates VERSION and CHANGELOG.md
  - Bumps semantic versions (major/minor/patch)
  - Updates changelog with release date
  - Creates git tags
  - Publishes GitHub releases
  - Supports dry-run mode for testing
  - Handles both GitHub Actions and standalone execution

### Validation Scripts (✅ Implemented)
- Implement `scripts/validate-version.cjs` - Semantic version validation
  - Validates VERSION file format
  - Parses version components (major.minor.patch[-prerelease][+build])
  - Comprehensive error reporting

- Implement `scripts/validate-changelog.cjs` - Changelog validation
  - Validates Keep a Changelog format
  - Checks version and date formats
  - Validates section structure
  - Reports detailed errors

### Utilities (✅ Implemented)
- Implement `.github/agents/includes/changelogUtils.cjs` - Changelog parser
  - Parses Keep a Changelog format
  - Validates changelog structure
  - Extracts releases and sections
  - CLI tool with --validate, --parse, --latest, --unreleased modes

### Schemas (✅ Created)
- Create `automation/schemas/changelog.schema.json` - Changelog validation
- Create `automation/schemas/version.schema.json` - Version validation
- Create `automation/schemas/frontmatter.schema.json` - Frontmatter validation

### Workflow Updates (✅ Updated)
- Update `.github/workflows/release.yml` - Enable release agent
- Update `.github/workflows/release-prep.yml` - Fix script references
- Update `.github/workflows/changelog.yml` - Enable validation, add Node setup

## Issues Resolved

- ✅ Critical Issue #1: Release agent not implemented (was placeholder)
- ✅ Critical Issue #2: validate-changelog.js was placeholder (exit code 1)
- ✅ Critical Issue #3: validate-version.js was empty
- ✅ Critical Issue #4: changelogUtils.js missing
- ✅ Critical Issue #5: Schema files missing

## Testing

All components tested and working:
- ✅ validate-version.cjs validates current VERSION file
- ✅ validate-changelog.cjs validates current CHANGELOG.md
- ✅ changelogUtils.cjs parses and validates changelog
- ✅ release.agent.cjs runs successfully in dry-run mode

## Notes

- All scripts renamed from .js to .cjs for CommonJS compatibility
- Package.json contains "type": "module", so .cjs extension required
- Release agent supports --scope=major|minor|patch and --dry-run flags
- Follows LightSpeed coding standards and documentation requirements
