📄 Description

Summary

Semantic Release failed in Semantic Release / Semantic Release because @semantic-release/github attempted to attach releases to a Discussions category in a repository with Discussions disabled (404 Discussions are not enabled on this repository).
This change removes the Discussions linkage from release publishing so release/tag creation can proceed normally.

Root cause
- discussionCategoryName: "Releases" in .releaserc.json triggered a failing PATCH to the GitHub Releases API.
Change
- Removed discussionCategoryName from the @semantic-release/github plugin config.
Result
- Release automation no longer depends on repository Discussions being enabled.

{
  "addReleases": "bottom",
  "draftRelease": false
}

Presets affected

None.
No Renovate preset JSON behavior changed (default, grouped, safe-automerge, gitops unchanged).

Consumer impact

No consumer-facing preset behavior change.
Impact is limited to repository release automation reliability.

Checklist

Documentation and examples are updated if behavior changed
The validator passes for every shared preset
The release/tagging impact is described
