- Add auto-update workflow triggered by fontc release webhooks - Add update script that fetches latest release, updates files, and auto-increments versions - Add validation script with Python 3.11 venv testing to verify fontc installation For this to work automatically as soon as a new fontc is released, I'll also need to also set up a notification workflow in fontc repo.

For this to work automatically when a new fontc is released, I'll also need to also set up a notification workflow in fontc repo (i'll do that shortly once I verify this actually works)
The flow will work like this:
