feat: align and enhance GitHub Actions workflows

- Remove CHANGELOG.md (use GitHub release notes instead)
- Remove @semantic-release/changelog and @semantic-release/exec from dependencies
- Update .releaserc to use @semantic-release/npm for version bumping
- Change checkout depth from 0 to 1 in all workflows
- Remove .bumpversion.cfg (not needed for Node.js)
- Improve workflow structure and error handling
- Configure GitHub releases with release notes
