Subject: [PATCH] chore: add workflow to auto-update major version tag on
 release

Adds update-major-tag.yml that triggers on any published release and
force-updates the major version tag (e.g., v6) to point to the latest
release (e.g., v6.0.1). Enables users to pin to @v6 instead of full
version numbers.
