Summary of Changes

Hello @ChanTsune, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request automates the process of simplifying version references within README.md files as part of the release workflow. By integrating a pre-release-hook into the release.toml configuration, it ensures that any full version numbers (e.g., '1.2.3') found in READMEs are automatically truncated to their minor version (e.g., '1.2') before a release is finalized. This enhancement aims to streamline documentation maintenance by ensuring version compatibility references are consistently updated.

Highlights

• Automated README Version Stripping: Introduces a new pre-release hook to automatically modify version numbers in README.md files during the release process.
• Version Simplification Logic: The hook replaces full version strings (e.g., "1.2.3") with their minor counterparts (e.g., "1.2") within specific patterns found in README.md files.
• New Script for Version Patching: Adds a new bash script, scripts/strip-readme-patch.sh, which orchestrates finding README.md files and performing the version string replacement using perl.
