This release enhances shell scripting capabilities by making `release create` output the version to stdout. All Rich UI elements now go to stderr, enabling clean machine-readable results for automation workflows.

## 🚀 Features

The `release create` command now outputs the created version to stdout, enabling shell scripting patterns like `VERSION=$(tenzir-changelog release create --minor --yes)`. All Rich output (tables, panels) now goes to stderr, keeping stdout clean for machine-readable results.
