Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow that posts release announcements to Discord and optionally to X (Twitter) whenever a GitHub Release is published, and adds Confidence Score: 5/5Safe to merge — all previous review findings are resolved and no new blocking issues found. All five previously flagged issues (Discord content length, mutable action tag, missing curl timeout, missing private-repo guard on Discord job, unsafe multiline output) are addressed. The Discord payload is safely built with jq, the Twitter action is pinned to a commit SHA, and secret-absence handling is correct. No P0 or P1 issues remain. No files require special attention.

What this PR does
Adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to announce published releases on Discord, with optional X (Twitter) posting support.
Why
We want automatic release communication in community channels whenever a GitHub Release is published, while safely skipping X when Twitter credentials are not configured.
