## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Publish a patch release from the unsigned Windows release-build change by bumping the app version, generating committed changelog artifacts for `v0.5.3`, and pushing the release-prep commit.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [x] #1 Repository version metadata is updated to `0.5.3`.
- [x] #2 `CHANGELOG.md` and `release/release-notes.md` contain the committed `v0.5.3` section and consumed fragments are removed.
- [x] #3 New `v0.5.3` release-prep commit is pushed to `origin/main`.
<!-- AC:END -->

## Implementation Plan

<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
1. Bump `package.json` from `0.5.2` to `0.5.3`.
2. Run `bun run changelog:build` so committed changelog artifacts match the new patch version.
3. Run changelog/typecheck/test verification.
4. Commit the release-prep change set and push `main`.
<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->

## Implementation Notes

<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
Bumped `package.json` from `0.5.2` to `0.5.3`, ran `bun run changelog:build`, and committed the generated release artifacts. That prepended the `v0.5.3` section to `CHANGELOG.md`, regenerated `release/release-notes.md`, and removed the consumed `changes/unsigned-windows-release-builds.md` fragment.

Verification before push: `bun run changelog:lint`, `bun run changelog:check --version 0.5.3`, `bun run typecheck`, and `bun run test:fast`.
<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->

## Final Summary

<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
Prepared patch release `v0.5.3` so the unsigned Windows release-build change is captured in committed release metadata on `main`. Version metadata, changelog output, and release notes are aligned with the new patch version.

Validation: `bun run changelog:lint`, `bun run changelog:check --version 0.5.3`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`.
