June 2025: Implemented a cross-component Release State Lifecycle Management for giantswarm/releases, affecting components capa, cloud-director, and vsphere.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-04 focused on delivering business value and technical excellence in giantswarm/releases. Key activity was the Release Archival and Cleanup initiative, which archived old release versions across azure, cloud-director, and vsphere by moving outdated release directories into an archived subdirectory and updating the main kustomization files to remove references to archived releases. This reduces repository noise, mitigates future release confusion, and improves maintainability for release engineers. Note: No major bug fixes were reported for this repository in April 2025; the emphasis was on cleanup, process hygiene, and long-term release reliability.
