Review: chore(main): release 0.28.0

Scope: This is a release-please version-bump PR owned by this repository. It only bumps the version to 0.28.0 across the four files release-please is configured to touch, which is exactly in scope for OpenHands/extensions. No product/architecture decision is required.

Verification performed on head 66b2f8b:

• All four version sites are consistent at 0.28.0: package.json, pyproject.toml ([project].version), python/openhands_extensions/_version.py (_FALLBACK_VERSION, with the # x-release-please-version annotation correctly kept on the assignment line), and .release-please-manifest.json. A grep finds no stray 0.27.0 references.
• uv run pytest tests/test_version_alignment.py -q -> 3 passed. This is the repository's own guard against JS/Python version drift.
• The changelog body covers exactly the four merged PRs since v0.27.0 (#602, #686, #696, #725); each is confirmed merged on GitHub, and no additional non-merge commits exist in v0.27.0..66b2f8b. The new-contributor note for @Rohithmatham12 matches #696.
• GitHub Actions for this head are green (including test, check, check-pr-artifacts, sync-extensions, sync-sdk-skill, validate-claude-code, and the pr-title checks).

Findings: None material. The change is a mechanical, correctly-generated release bump with no behavioral or security impact.

✅ APPROVED

[neubig]

🟢 Good taste

The release PR is a minimal, internally consistent version bump across the manifest, npm package, Python project, and fallback version. It adds no dependencies, executable scripts, workflow behavior, secrets, or product behavior. The head is mergeable, all applicable CI checks pass, and this content-only release bookkeeping is exempt from runtime/screenshot evidence.

[RISK ASSESSMENT]

• [Overall PR] ⚠️ Risk Assessment: 🟢 LOW
  Mechanical release metadata only; no supply-chain or runtime surface is introduced.

VERDICT:
✅ Worth merging: The release metadata is synchronized and CI is green.

KEY INSIGHT:
The change preserves one version value consistently across every published package surface.
