Changes:

• Introduces RFC 0011 documenting the problem of mapping GitHub releases to deployments (especially for monorepos).
• Proposes a single git/release-selector CEL metadata key and an evaluation flow for release events.
• Defines the intended CEL evaluation context and outlines basic error-handling behavior.
