Release Agent: Missing release branch push before PR creation #585
Description
Issue
Release agent creates release/vX.Y.Z branch locally but never pushes it to origin before attempting PR creation. GitHub can't see an unpushed branch, so gh pr create fails or uses wrong ref.
Impact
- PR creation fails silently (error caught at line 614, continues anyway)
- Release tag is created but no PR exists to merge to main
- Manual PR creation required, breaking orchestration
Root Cause
release.agent.js line 691–695 creates branch but missing:
git add VERSION CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "chore(release): bump to ${nextVersion}"
git push -u origin ${releaseBranch}Expected Behavior
- Create release branch from develop
- Update VERSION and CHANGELOG.md
- Commit changes
- Push branch to origin
- Create PR from pushed branch to main
