Plan: Add Changesets GitHub Action and PR Bot

Based on the Total TypeScript article recommendation, I need to add:

• Create a new GitHub workflow for the Changesets release action
  • Add .github/workflows/release.yml to automatically create version PRs when changesets are merged to main
  • Configure the workflow to publish packages to npm when version PRs are merged
  • Add release script to package.json for the workflow to use
• Add the Changesets bot to PR workflow
  • Create .github/workflows/changesets-bot.yml to add PR bot that comments on PRs without changesets
  • Ensure bot only runs on actual PRs, not on the release PR itself (skip PRs with changeset-release/ prefix)
  • Fix bot to properly check for changesets instead of trying to publish
• Test the workflows are properly configured
  • Validated all YAML syntax
  • Tested build and release scripts work correctly
• Update documentation
  • Added Contributing section to README with changeset instructions
• Fix security issues
  • Added explicit permissions blocks to both workflows following principle of least privilege

Original prompt

what about following those 2 advices: https://www.totaltypescript.com/how-to-create-an-npm-package#summary:~:text=For%20further%20reading%2C%20I%27d%20recommend%20setting%20up%20the%20Changesets%20GitHub%20action%20and%20PR%20bot%20to%20automatically%20recommend%20contributors%20add%20changesets%20to%20their%20PR%27s.%20They%20are%20both%20phenomenal.

from this PR, is this the expected message? @copilot

[Copilot]

from this PR, is this the expected...

No, that message was not expected. The bot was incorrectly trying to perform version/publish operations instead of just checking for changesets.

I've fixed it in commit 4468b95. The bot now:

• Checks if changeset files exist in the .changeset directory
• Comments on PRs that don't have changesets with helpful instructions
• Doesn't try to perform any version management or publishing

The workflow will now show a clear pass/fail status and only comment when changesets are missing.
