Fold version/CHANGELOG/lock bump *inside* release PR — do not push as a separate commit after merge.

**Why:** Current process runs CI twice: once on the release PR (full suite ~11min) and again on the post-merge bump push. Bump is code-identical to the proven PR commit; only inert metadata changes. Second pass wastes ~11min and adds no safety margin (~1% Cargo.lock sync edge case).

**How to apply:** When deployah cuts a release, include Cargo.toml version bump + CHANGELOG + Cargo.lock sync in the release PR itself. Tag from that merged commit. Update deployah runbook to reflect this. Confirmed surfaced at v0.14.0 release (2026-06-23).
