Note

Low Risk
Single CI dependency pin on the release job; pinned semantic-release 25.0.9 satisfies the action’s v20+ requirement.

Overview
Bumps the release job’s Semantic Release step from cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v6 to v8.0.0, a major upgrade of the third-party action only.

No other workflow inputs change; semantic_version: 25.0.9 stays pinned and already meets v8’s requirement for semantic-release v20+, so the release pipeline behavior should stay the same aside from whatever fixes and breaking changes ship in the action itself.
