ci: auto-merge version PR to streamline releases (#474)

* Add changeset for Continue support, shell completions, and explore command

* ci: auto-merge version PR to streamline releases

Enable auto-merge on the changesets version PR so it merges
automatically once CI passes. This reduces the release process
from 2 manual PR merges to effectively 1.

Requires enabling "Allow auto-merge" in repository settings
and branch protection rules on main.

+### New Features
+
+- **Continue IDE support** – OpenSpec now generates slash commands for [Continue](https://continue.dev/), expanding editor integration options alongside Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and others
+- **Shell completions for Bash, Fish, and PowerShell** – Run `openspec completion install` to set up tab completion in your preferred shell
+- **`/opsx:explore` command** – A new thinking partner mode for exploring ideas and investigating problems before committing to changes
+- **Codebuddy slash command improvements** – Updated frontmatter format for better compatibility
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Shell completions now correctly offer parent-level flags (like `--help`) when a command has subcommands
+- Fixed Windows compatibility issues in tests
+
+### Other
+
+- Added optional anonymous usage statistics to help understand how OpenSpec is used. This is **opt-out** by default – set `OPENSPEC_TELEMETRY=0` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` to disable. Only command names and version are collected; no arguments, file paths, or content. Automatically disabled in CI environments.
