Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): schedule weekly release every Monday at 10:00
 Madrid (#649)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a `schedule` trigger to the existing Release workflow so it runs
automatically.

- **Cron**: `0 8 * * 1` — Mondays 08:00 UTC (= 10:00 Madrid in
summer/CEST, 09:00 in winter/CET).
- **Increment**: defaults to `patch` on scheduled runs
(`workflow_dispatch` still lets you pick patch/minor/major).
- **Empty-week guard**: skips the run when there are no commits since
the last tag, avoiding empty releases.

Note: the release PR is still opened by `github-actions[bot]` with
`GITHUB_TOKEN`, which does not trigger required checks — merging it
stays a manual step unless a PAT/App token is wired in.
