ci: switch release workflow to tag-driven

Trigger on `push: tags` instead of `workflow_dispatch`. The pushed tag
name is the version — removes the bump-input + compute-and-create-tag
dance, avoiding accidental major bumps from the manual dispatch form.

 ## Releasing
 
-Releases are managed by a Gitea Actions workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`). **Never create tags or releases manually** — always trigger the pipeline.
+Releases are tag-driven. The Gitea Actions workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`) triggers on any pushed tag matching `v*` — it runs CI (lint, test, build), generates a changelog from the previous tag, builds and pushes a Docker image, and creates a Gitea release. The version comes from the tag name.
 
-The workflow runs CI (lint, test, build), computes the next version from the latest tag, generates a changelog, creates the tag, builds and pushes a Docker image, and creates a Gitea release.
+To release, tag the desired commit on `Develop` and push:
-
-Trigger via Gitea API:
 ```bash
-curl -s -X POST "https://gitea.jeanlucmakiola.de/api/v1/repos/makiolaj/GearBox/actions/workflows/release.yml/dispatches" \
+git tag v2.3.0
-  -H "Authorization: token <GITEA_TOKEN>" \
+git push origin v2.3.0
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"ref": "Develop", "inputs": {"bump": "patch"}}'  # patch | minor | major
 ```
