The login step referenced PACKAGES_SECRET while the secret configured on this
repository -- and on its sibling -- is PACKAGES_TOKEN. The expression resolved
to an empty string and docker/login-action failed with "Password required",
so the first release published nothing and created no tag.
The push trigger only fires on image-affecting paths, which a workflow-only
change is not, so merging this fix alone would not produce a release.
workflow_dispatch can now cut one, restricted to main so a manual run on
another branch cannot tag a commit that is not on the default branch.
Verified by running the version step across every event and ref combination:
push and workflow_dispatch on main release, everything else does not.
