build(deps): bump ncipollo/release-action from 1.20.0 to 1.21.0
What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine update by Dependabot to the GitHub Action used for creating releases. It changes the pinned version of ncipollo/release-action from 1.20.0 to 1.21.0 in the project's release workflow. There is no direct evidence in the commit or supplied references that this update fixes a security vulnerability or introduces one. It is a normal dependency maintenance change.
Review the upstream ncipollo/release-action v1.21.0 release notes for any security fixes or breaking changes before merging. If none are present, this can be treated as routine maintenance. Ensure the new commit hash matches the official release tag.
