<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Touches the release automation path on `main`; a failed or changed
release-please run could block or mis-create releases, though the diff
is only a dependency pin.
> 
> **Overview**
> Updates **`.github/workflows/release-please.yml`** to pin
**`googleapis/release-please-action`** from **4.2.0** to **5.0.0**
(commit `45996ed1…`). Workflow inputs (`token`, checkout conditions,
downstream `publish-pods`) are unchanged.
> 
> v5 is a major bump that upgrades the action runtime to **Node 24** and
pulls in a newer **release-please** CLI; behavior should match the
existing PAT-based release flow unless the upstream breaking change
affects GitHub-hosted runners.
