Review: chore: release v0.5.2

Summary

This PR performs a routine semantic version bump from v0.5.1 to v0.5.2, following the repository's documented release process. No actual dependency upgrades are included—the diff shows only version metadata changes in package.json and package-lock.json, plus documentation updates to AGENTS.md.

Change-by-Change Findings

package.json & package-lock.json

• Version field bumped from 0.5.1 to 0.5.2 (patch release per semver)
• No dependency entries were added, removed, or modified
• Lockfile changes are limited to version string updates

AGENTS.md

• Adds step 6: "Write release notes" with guidance to hand-write notes instead of using --generate-notes
• Updates step 7 (formerly 6) to use --notes-file release-notes-v<version>.md instead of --generate-notes
• These changes codify a process improvement (commit 7190646 docs(release): require hand-written release notes) that was already applied separately on this branch
