P1 Badge Restrict auto-approval to real release branches

In a same-repository PR whose source branch merely starts with release/v, this job submits an approving review without checking the base branch, actor, or the semver release-branch pattern used by .github/workflows/release-workflow.yml (^release/v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$). That lets any write-access user create something like release/v-anything targeting main and have the one required GitHub approval satisfied by automation, bypassing the human review gate for non-release changes that pass required checks. Please tighten this condition to the exact release branch format and intended target/actor before approving.
