update-release-graph

Update the HAL+JSON release information graph when new .NET releases ship. Regenerates index files across the version hierarchy (root → major → patch), timeline hierarchy (timeline → year → month), llms.json, and downloads using graph generator tools. USE FOR: adding a new patch release to the graph, adding a new major version, updating timeline entries after a release, refreshing the graph after source data changes. DO NOT USE FOR: supported-os.json changes (use update-supported-os skill), querying the graph (use dotnet-releases skill on release-index branch), editing generated graph files by hand (update source data and regenerate).
