chore: remove legacy Linear issue tagging workflow

[msukkari]

Summary

• remove the repeatedly failing Tag Linear Issues with Release workflow
• remove its now-unreferenced tagLinearIssuesWithRelease.mjs implementation
• retain the working Linear Release workflow that manages Linear release records

Validation

• verified the legacy workflow and script have no other repository automation or documentation references
• verified other release workflows and Linear secret consumers are unchanged
• ran git diff --check on the focused change

---

Note

Low Risk
Deletes only CI scripting and a Node helper with no runtime or app behavior; Linear release workflow and secrets usage elsewhere are untouched.

Overview
Removes the automated path that, after a successful production release, parsed CHANGELOG.md for PR numbers, looked up linked Linear issues via the API, and applied a v{version} label.

The Tag Linear Issues with Release GitHub Actions workflow and scripts/tagLinearIssuesWithRelease.mjs are deleted entirely. Release automation that manages Linear release records (e.g. linear-release.yml) is unchanged.
