changes into a changelog, and committing the result.

# Prepare Release
## Workflow
1. **Read current build number.** Parse `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` from
`xcconfigs/Ruckus.xcconfig`.
Let `OLD` = that value and `NEW` = `OLD + 1`.
2. **Bump the build number.** Update `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` in both:
- `xcconfigs/Ruckus.xcconfig`
- `xcconfigs/RuckusWidgets.xcconfig`
Set the value to `NEW` in both files.
3. **Collect changes.** Run `git log` from the commit that last changed
`CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` (i.e. the previous bump) to `HEAD`.
Summarize user-visible changes. Skip CI, refactors, and changes to
internals. Keep each entry to one short line.
4. **Write the changelog.** Create `docs/changelogs/<BUILD>.md` where `<BUILD>`
is `NEW` formatted as `%05d` (e.g. build 4 → `00004`). Use this format:
```markdown
# Build <NEW>
## Added
- Addition one.
- Addition two.
## Changed
- Change one.
- Change two.
## Fixed
- Fix one.
- Fix two.
## Removed
- Removal one.
- Removal two.
```
5. **Commit.** Stage the two xcconfig files and the new changelog, then commit
with the message:
```
release: build <NEW>
```
