fix(release): make the --local scan clone see the repointed release branch (#66)

release-pr's --local mode git-clones from --repo-url into /tmp, so the
ref-repoint in the workspace never reaches the scan — on a quiet default
branch it collects 0 commits and silently skips the release PR (seen
2026-07-09: promotes landed on next but no new release PR opened).
Rewrite the repo URL to the workspace so the CLI clones the repointed
refs; API PR-creation still parses owner/repo from the URL string.
