chore: add .claude/ to gitignore

Update pom.xml license block and header from AGPL-3.0 to Apache-2.0 to
match the LICENSE file migration in ba98f28. Add GROUP_ID, ARTIFACT_ID,
VERSION static constants to QBitProducer following standard QBit pattern.

+# Releasing
+
+This QBit uses the [qqq-orb](https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/kingsrook/qqq-orb) CircleCI orb for automated builds, versioning, and publishing to Maven Central. Releases are triggered by branch conventions -- no manual version bumping or publishing is required.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- CircleCI project linked to this repository
+- `qqq-maven-registry-credentials` context configured in CircleCI with:
+  - `MAVEN_USERNAME` / `MAVEN_PASSWORD` (Sonatype Central Portal)
+  - `GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_B64` / `GPG_KEYNAME` / `GPG_PASSPHRASE` (artifact signing)
+  - `GITHUB_TOKEN` (GitHub Release creation)
+
+## Branch Workflow
+
+```
+feature/my-work --> develop --> release/X.Y --> main
+                                                 \--> hotfix/X.Y.Z
+```
+
+### Development (develop branch)
+
+Every commit to `develop` publishes a **SNAPSHOT** to Maven Central.
+
+- Version format: `X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT`
+- Consumers use this for integration testing against the latest build
+
+```bash
+# Normal development workflow
+git checkout develop
+git pull
+git checkout -b feature/my-feature
+# ... make changes, commit, push ...
+# Open PR targeting develop
+# Merge PR -> SNAPSHOT auto-publishes
+```
+
+### Release Candidate (release/* branches)
+
+When `develop` is ready for release, create a release branch. Every commit to a `release/*` branch publishes a **Release Candidate** to Maven Central.
+
+- Version format: `X.Y.Z-RC.1`, `X.Y.Z-RC.2`, etc. (auto-incremented per commit)
+- Use this for final QA and stabilization
+
+```bash
+# Create a release branch from develop
+git checkout develop
+git pull
+git checkout -b release/0.4
+git push -u origin release/0.4
+# RC.1 auto-publishes
+
+# If bug fixes are needed during QA:
+git commit -m "fix: resolve edge case in view sharing"
+git push
+# RC.2 auto-publishes (incremented automatically)
+```
+
+### Production Release (main branch)
+
+Merge the release branch into `main` to publish a **stable release**.
+
+- Version format: `X.Y.Z`
+- Automatically creates a git tag (`vX.Y.Z`) and a GitHub Release
+- Published to Maven Central as a final release artifact
+
+```bash
+# Merge release branch to main (via PR recommended)
+git checkout main
+git merge release/0.4
+git push
+
+# CI auto-creates tag v0.4.0, GitHub Release, publishes to Maven Central
+
+# After release, merge main back to develop and bump the revision
+git checkout develop
+git merge main
+# Update <revision> in pom.xml to next development version
+git commit -m "chore: bump revision to 0.5.0"
+git push
+```
+
+### Hotfix (hotfix/* branches)
+
+For critical production fixes that cannot wait for the next release cycle.
+
+- Version format: `X.Y.(Z+1)` (patch bump from current release)
+- Automatically creates a git tag and GitHub Release
+
+```bash
+# Create hotfix branch from main
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git checkout -b hotfix/0.4.1
+# ... apply fix ...
+git commit -m "fix: critical null check in view loading"
+git push -u origin hotfix/0.4.1
+# Patch release auto-publishes
+
+# Merge hotfix back to develop
+git checkout develop
+git merge hotfix/0.4.1
+git push
+```
+
+## CI/CD Configuration
+
+The release pipeline is defined in `.circleci/config.yml` and uses the `qqq-orb` to handle build, test, version calculation, and publishing. The workflows are:
+
+| Workflow | Trigger | Branch Type | Publishes |
+|----------|---------|-------------|-----------|
+| `test_only` | Push to feature/* | -- | Nothing (test only) |
+| `publish_snapshot` | Push to develop | snapshot | SNAPSHOT to Maven Central |
+| `publish_release_candidate` | Push to release/* | release_candidate | RC to Maven Central |
+| `publish_release` | Push to main | release | Stable to Maven Central + GitHub Release |
+| `publish_hotfix_release` | Push to hotfix/* | hotfix | Patch to Maven Central + GitHub Release |
+
+## Version Management
+
+The project version is controlled by the `<revision>` property in `pom.xml`. The CI pipeline reads and manipulates this value automatically based on branch type. You should only manually update `<revision>` when bumping the development version on `develop` after a release.
