Ci/align release gate - #6

Every repository already had the same skeleton — a version job, a reusable build.yml, a publish job — but five different ways of telling build.yml "this is a release, the checks already ran". Net.Agora used `track != ""`, the Datadog and OpenTok repos used `build-sample` and `verify-release`, Red5Pro inverted its `run-live-tiers` knob, and six repositories had no gate at all and re-ran the entire pull-request pipeline on every tag. Replaces all of it with one boolean input, `verify`, with the same name, default and meaning everywhere. Pull requests leave it true and are the only place verification runs; release.yml passes false. Across the eighteen repositories that takes the build jobs a tag runs from 59 to 23 — the 23 being pack, its prerequisites, and OpenTok.Net's add-windows-assets, which merges the Windows heads into the packages being published and so is not a check. The same rule now applies whether a check is a job or a step: the package tests and sample compiles that lived inside pack jobs are gated too, since where a check happened to be written should not decide whether it repeats. Checks on the pins a pack consumed, or on the bytes it emitted, still run on a release — they are cheap and they guard the artifact about to be published. Skipping verification on a tag is only sound if the tagged commit really did go through a pull request, so release.yml gains a guard job that fails when the commit is not an ancestor of the default branch. OpenTok.Net.Android and OpenTok.Net.iOS also gain the tag-versus-Directory.Build.props check their sibling OpenTok.Net.Win already had. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The tag was the only manual step left. A release note is already written by hand, one per version, as part of the pull request that bumps the pins — so merging that note is the decision to release, and everything after it was mechanical: cut a tag whose name has to match the note's filename exactly, and push it. auto-release.yml does that. On a push to the default branch touching docs/release-notes/**, it takes the notes the push ADDED (not modified — editing an old note is a correction, not a release), derives each tag from the filename, and tags the merge commit. Two filename conventions, matching what each repository already does: bare version here, so 2.34.1.4.md tags v2.34.1.4. It then dispatches release.yml at the new tag rather than relying on the tag push to trigger it. That is not a stylistic choice: a tag pushed with GITHUB_TOKEN deliberately does not fire `on: push: tags`, so release.yml would never start. workflow_dispatch is documented as an exception that always creates a run, so release.yml gains a workflow_dispatch trigger; dispatched at the tag's ref, github.ref_name is the tag and every version, track, notes and changelog lookup in there behaves exactly as it does today. Stricter than the manual path on purpose. release.yml accepts a three-part version; this accepts only four parts, because every release tag any of these repositories has carried is four-part while the three-part notes that exist (2.17.2.md, 8.1.7.md, 8.1.2.md) are series overviews. Replayed over every commit that ever added a note: 77 resolve to the tag that actually exists, and the only rejections are those three overviews. Re-running is a no-op — a tag that already exists is skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
