📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request optimizes the release workflow by preventing redundant runs when only GitHub workflow files change, and by ensuring Git tags are properly fetched after the version bump step completes.

Changes

Release Workflow Improvements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow trigger optimization and tag fetching .github/workflows/build-release.yaml	Workflow push trigger on main now ignores .github/** path changes via paths-ignore to prevent unnecessary runs on configuration edits. A conditional git fetch --force --tags step is added after the tag bump action when steps.bump.outputs.new_tag is non-empty, ensuring tags are available for subsequent release tooling.
