Release workflow: add manual workflow_dispatch trigger#35
Merged
Conversation
The release workflow only runs on push to main, so when something suppresses the auto-trigger (a merge-commit message accidentally carrying a skip-CI marker, a paused queue, etc.) we currently have no recovery path short of pushing an empty commit. Adding workflow_dispatch lets us rerun the release flow on demand against the current main.

Why
Yesterday's PR #34 merged but no workflows ran, because the squash-merge commit message contained the literal string skip-CI (in my own PR description, ironically — I was describing the skip-CI bug). GitHub treats that string anywhere in the commit message as a global skip, so Release, Test, and Pages all silently no-op'd.
There's no escape hatch today: if release.yml's auto-trigger doesn't fire, the only way to recover is to push an empty commit to main. Adding workflow_dispatch lets the workflow be re-run on demand.
