ci: fix versioning in release workflow

[lachlancollins]

🎯 Changes

Current workflow errors when there are no files to commit. It's also formatted incorrectly... oops

✅ Checklist

• I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
• I have tested this code locally with pnpm test:pr.

🚀 Release Impact

• This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
• This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Optimized release automation to skip commit/push steps when no changes are detected, reducing redundant commits and noise in version history.
  • Improves reliability and clarity of release runs and slightly speeds up CI by avoiding unnecessary operations.
  • No user-facing changes; application behavior and UI remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

Guard added to the “Commit version files” step in .github/workflows/release.yml to run git config/add/commit/push only when the working tree has changes (checked via git status --porcelain). User config moved inside the conditional; no other steps or exports changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary of changes
Release workflow conditional commit .github/workflows/release.yml	Wrap git config/add/commit/push in a conditional that checks for a non-empty git status --porcelain; defer user config inside the guard; no-op when no changes detected.

Poem

I sniff the repo’s breeze—no changes? I’ll refrain.
If patches scent the air, I hop to add and chain.
A tidy paw commits, a gentle push takes flight—
No wasted hops today, just carrots done up right.
