Closes huggingface/tracking-issues#19

Note

Medium Risk
Changes affect the release automation pipeline; removing jobs and truncating the workflow could break GitHub release creation and other post-release steps unless intentionally retired.

Overview
The release.yml workflow is simplified: the version detection step now receives release_type/version_override via env instead of setting them inside the script.

It also removes the latter half of the release pipeline, dropping jobs that created/updated GitHub releases and AI-generated notes, ran downstream RC testing branches, opened the post-release version bump PR, and synced HF CLI skill docs. The file is left truncated mid-comment and missing a trailing newline.

Truncated comment left behind after job deletion

Low Severity

The file ends with a dangling, truncated comment block (lines 317–323). The release-notes job and subsequent jobs were removed, but the comment header describing the "RELEASE NOTES" strategy was only partially deleted — the last line cuts off mid-sentence at "create a". This orphaned comment references removed functionality and is incomplete, appearing to be an editing artifact from the deletion.
