🤖 Automating Releases with GitHub Actions and Bundler Gem Tasks​

Implement a CI pipeline that tags, builds, signs, and pushes gems automatically on v* tags. Combine bundler/gem_tasks with a minimal GitHub Actions workflow to ensure atomic releases, CHANGELOG updates, and GPG signing for integrity.

      - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
        with:
          ruby-version: '3.x'
