feat: add semantic-release automation (#661)

* feat: add semantic-release automation and commit message validation

- Configure semantic-release for automatic releases on main branch
- Update GitHub Actions workflow to trigger releases on push to main
- Add support for prerelease branches (beta, alpha, rc)
- Install and configure commitlint for conventional commit validation
- Set up husky pre-commit hooks for commit message validation
- Update Node.js version to 20.x in release workflow
- Add release scripts to package.json

* feat: update semantic-release config for feature branch prereleases

- Support prerelease versions from feature branches (feat-*, fix-*, chore-*)
- Add semantic-release-monorepo for better monorepo support
- Conditionally apply git plugin only on main branch
- Remove beta/alpha/rc branches in favor of feature branch pattern

* chore: remove semantic-release-monorepo dependency

- Remove unnecessary semantic-release-monorepo package
- Simplify release configuration by removing extends field
- Keep feature branch prerelease support
