Cut a release of the atlas-aci MCP server end-to-end. Use when the user says "release", "cut vX.Y.Z", "ship it", "run the release", or after a version's PRs are green and ready to land. Covers the merge-strategy decision, the version gate, tagging, watching the signed multi-arch build, capturing the image digest, archiving the ESL change (and the CI paths that breaks), and bumping the nexus catalogue.
