- --verbose flag: config source table, per-commit type analysis, version
decision explanation; output always to stderr
- Colored structured output: logStep/logDone/logWarn symbols, ▸ verbose
section headers, TTY-aware ANSI colors (NO_COLOR / TERM=dumb respected)
- Name + version header printed at the start of every invocation
- Default tag_prefix changed from "v" to "" (bare 1.2.3 tags by default)

Tags are now bare version numbers by default (e.g. 1.2.3).
Set tag_prefix: "v" in .releaser.yml or pass --tag-prefix v to opt in
to the v-prefixed convention.
Updated all affected tests, the .releaser.yml template comment, and
the README configuration reference.

Adds a logHeader() helper that prints "releaser v<version>" to stderr
at the start of every invocation, before any other output.

- Prints a configuration table on startup showing each key, its value,
and the source (default / config file / env: VARNAME / flag: --name)
- Lists every commit since the last tag with its parsed type and
the version-bump decision (feat/fix/breaking → patch bump, or ignored)
- Explains the final version choice: highest commit type → next tag
- All verbose output goes to stderr so it never pollutes stdout captures
- Sources tracking wired through config.LoadWithSources and
ApplyEnvWithSources; LoadWithSources uses a two-pass approach to
detect which YAML fields were explicitly set vs defaulted

- Automatically write/update CHANGELOG.md on every release, grouped by
Breaking Changes / Added / Fixed; file is created if missing and the
new section is committed alongside pom.xml in the release commit
- Add --init flag: scaffolds a default .releaser.yml in the repo root
- Add --changelog-file flag: override the default CHANGELOG.md path
- Add CommitFiles() to gitutil so pom.xml and CHANGELOG.md are staged
in a single commit
- Fix HTTPS push when no token is set: delegate to the git CLI so that
system credential helpers, SSH agents, and netrc are honoured

go-git's HTTPS transport does not use the system credential store,
so pushes to remotes that require credentials fail silently or with
"authentication required" when no token is provided. When token is
empty, delegate to the system git binary so that credential helpers,
SSH agents, and netrc all work as expected.

Pushes the commit and tag as normal but exits before calling the GitLab
API. Useful when the project is hosted on a non-GitLab forge (e.g.
Gitea) where the release is handled by a separate CI workflow triggered
on the tag push.

If pom.xml (or the configured maven.pom_path) is absent, releaser now
logs a notice and proceeds to tag and push without failing. This makes
the tool usable in non-Maven projects. An os.Stat error that is not
ErrNotExist (e.g. permission denied) still surfaces as an error.

go build ./cmd/... tried to write a binary named "cmd" which conflicts
with the source directory of the same name; pass -o /dev/null so the
build step only verifies compilation without writing output.
