ReleasePort's take

Light signal

editorial:auto 8d

The release refactors versioning utilities by dropping semver usage and fixes progress bar handling, archive extraction on Windows, and project dependencies.

Why it matters: Dropping semver (severity 10) simplifies the codebase; progress‑bar concurrency support (severity 40) improves install workflows. Operators should test these changes before deployment.
