ci: publish Docker images only for releases

[l1shen]

Docker publishing currently runs on every push to main, including each merged PR. Publish images only when a GitHub Release is published, retaining the release tag and latest for stable releases.

Remove the main-branch trigger, tip and short-SHA tags, and push-specific cancellation logic. Update the workflow comments to match.

Validation: bun run format -- --check, git diff --check, and YAML parsing with assertions for the release-only trigger, concurrency setting, and removed tags all passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Docker publishing now runs only when a release is published.
  • Release-based Docker tags are generated from the release tag.
  • Non-prerelease releases are also tagged as latest.
  • Release publishing jobs are serialized and are not cancelled.

Walkthrough

The Docker publishing workflow now runs only for published releases. Release jobs use per-ref concurrency without cancellation. Docker images always receive the release tag. Non-prerelease releases also receive the latest tag. Push-based tip and short-SHA tags were removed.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 93042

Docker publishing now creates release tags and stable latest tags only, but the Docker image documentation still advertises removed tip and short-SHA references. Users may attempt to pull image tags that no longer exist until the documentation is updated.

- Around line 117-118: Update the Docker image tag documentation in README.md to
match the publish workflow: remove claims that main pushes produce tip or
short-SHA tags, and replace guidance to use tip before the first stable release
with the currently available tag contract, including release tag names and
latest only for non-prerelease releases.

Update the Docker tag documentation with this contract change.

docs/server/docker-ghcr/README.md still says that pushes to main publish tip and short-SHA tags, and it tells users to use tip before the first stable release. This workflow no longer produces those tags. Update the documentation in the same change so users do not follow unavailable image references.
