ci: stop running the unit lane before tagging - #296

Conversation
The tagged commit is the Release PR's merge commit. Merges are squashed onto an up-to-date branch and release-please refreshes its PR on every push, so that commit's tree is the Release PR's tree: the version bump and changelog on top of an already-tested default branch. The Release PR already skips the lane, so running it after merge re-tested the same tree at the one point where a failure could no longer be fixed on the PR and instead left the release stuck on autorelease: pending. Release now matches chat's: merge, tag, publish.

…tfixes - The Release PR skip now also requires every changed file to be one release-please writes. A release-only job lists the PR's files; a code change pushed onto a Release PR by hand, an unexpected file or a failed lookup runs the unit lane instead. Checked against the open Release PRs, which all still skip. - Releases from an N.x branch run the unit lane before tagging again. Hotfix commits are pushed there without a PR, so nothing else tested them. Releases from the default branch still tag directly. - The detect stand-down comment no longer refers to a test run, and the java and net docs no longer say publish_tag can fix a build that does not compile.

- Line 44: Update the release-only check in the workflow to inspect file status
and patch content, not just filenames; set skip only when the diff contains the
expected release-version updates. Reject removals of required files and run the
unit lane for every other allowlisted change so tests-passed cannot accept an
unexpected edit as skipped.

release accepted a skipped tests job under !cancelled(), so a detect job that wrote ready=true and then failed a later step still reached the tag. In getstream-go that later step is the go.mod major check, so an uninstallable major would have been tagged permanently. release now also requires needs.detect.result == 'success'.
… its version The allowlist let a whole file through, and pyproject.toml, uv.lock, composer.json, the csproj and Client.cs also hold dependencies or client code, so a hand-pushed dependency bump still skipped the lane. Now every added line in a version file must carry the new version from the manifest, and with versions masked the removed lines must match the added ones one for one. The file list reaches the inline script through a temp file, since a heredoc on python3 takes over its stdin. Checked end to end with the step as written: the open Release PRs in stream-py, getstream-php, getstream-net and getstream-go skip; ordinary PRs, an added dependency line, a dropped dependency line, an injected line and an extra file all run the lane.

Problem
The Release PR skips the unit lane, but merging it ran the same lane on the merge commit before tagging. That commit has the Release PR's tree, so the run re-tested already-tested code at the one point where a failure leaves the release stuck on
autorelease: pending.Solution
Remove the pre-tag unit run.
releasenow needs onlydetect, so merging a Release PR tags and publishes directly, the same way chat releases. The docs and workflow comments that described the pre-tag gate are updated.How to verify
