fix: align release post frontmatter with blog layout

[sameerchore]

Summary

This PR fixes the frontmatter generated for automated webpack release blog posts.

The template used layout: blog-post and author, but the website expects layout: post and authors. This could cause release posts to use the wrong layout or fail to display author information.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

This is a bug fix.

Did you add tests for your changes?

No new automated tests were added because this is a two-line template correction.

Validation performed:

• Existing test suite passed.
• Prettier check passed.
• Generated frontmatter was manually verified.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. This only makes newly generated release posts match the existing blog format.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

No documentation changes are required.

Use of AI

Yes by Ai I identify frontmatter mismatch, make the minimal change, and run validation checks. I reviewed the generated output and verified the final change while being in the loop manually .
