fix: resolve release workflow version bump issues

- Fixed bump-version.js to properly handle --yes flag in CI environments
- Added check to skip commit if no changes to package.json or CHANGELOG.md
- Ensured script exits cleanly after version bump with --yes flag

+### CI Runner Image
+
+**Note:** The CI runner image approach has been deprecated for Gitea Actions workflows.
+
+The original attempt to use a pre-built CI runner image with pre-installed dependencies encountered fundamental issues with how Gitea Actions handles workspace mounting. When Gitea Actions runs a container job, it mounts the workspace at a specific path (e.g., `/workspace/david/euchre_camp`), which hides the container's `/app` directory where dependencies were installed.
+
+**Current Approach:**
+- Workflows use standard `node:20-alpine` or `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright` containers
+- Dependencies are installed via `npm ci` in each workflow run
+- This is the recommended approach for Gitea Actions
+
+**Why the CI image approach doesn't work:**
+1. Dockerfile.ci installs dependencies in `/app`
+2. Gitea Actions mounts workspace at `/workspace/david/euchre_camp`
+3. Workspace mount hides the `/app` directory
+4. Symlinks from `/app/node_modules` don't work because `/app` is hidden
+
+**Alternative for performance:**
+If CI performance becomes an issue, consider:
+- Using GitHub Actions cache for node_modules
+- Using a self-hosted runner with persistent workspace
+- Using the main Dockerfile's `test-runner` target for release workflows (which works because it builds a complete image)

 ### Database Strategy for CI
 - **CI Tests**: SQLite database (fast, no server required)
 - **Production**: PostgreSQL (production-like environment)
