chore(release): map claude-ceo-assistant email for AUTHOR_MAP

The contributor-check.yml workflow requires every commit author email
to have an entry in scripts/release.py:AUTHOR_MAP. claude-ceo-assistant
is the Gitea-only bot identity used by Claude-Code-driven PRs in the
molecule-ai fork (introduced post-2026-05-06 GitHub suspension; no
upstream/GitHub equivalent). Register it so PRs from that identity pass
the attribution check.

Pattern matches recent same-shape commits: 73bcd83, 50f9f38, 9c626ef.
