 - Add `release_commits_matrix` and `package_name` outputs to the reusable `release.yaml` so caller-side jobs can drive their own matrix and condition execution on a release commit being present.
 - Generalize composite-action ref freeze/unfreeze in `release_prep.py` to enumerate every `.github/actions/*/action.y*ml` directory rather than hardcoding a single name. New composite actions now participate in `@main` ↔ `@vX.Y.Z` rewrites without requiring code changes.

 - Fix parallel `OSError: Lock for file .git/config did already exist` test failures. `tests/test_git_ops.py` and `tests/test_metadata.py` share `pytestmark = pytest.mark.xdist_group("git")` so pydriller's `Git(".")` initialization (which acquires `.git/config.lock` on every call) is serialized to a single pytest-xdist worker. Add `mypy_path = "docs"` to `[tool.mypy]` so mypy resolves `import docs_update` in `tests/test_readme.py` against `docs/docs_update.py`.
 - Fix backslash-escaped brackets rendering literally in `docs/configuration.md` per-option `**Type:**` lines (like `list\[dict[str, str]\]`). The escape, needed only for raw GFM table cells in the `repomatic show-config` CLI output (where `mdformat` would otherwise interpret `[…]` as a markdown link), was leaking into inline-code spans where backslashes are literal in CommonMark. `_format_type` now returns clean Python type strings; the new `escape_type_for_gfm_table` helper is applied only at the CLI rendering layer.
