ci: stop publishing SDK wheels nightly

[svvarom]

Nightly releases currently use release-scope: all, which publishes SDK wheels alongside containers and Helm. This changes nightly all to select only containers and Helm, and rejects explicit nightly wheel selections before anything is dispatched. Stable releases are unchanged.

Human attention needed

• Decision: nightlies publish containers and Helm only; SDK wheels remain stable-only.
• Proof: full pre-commit, actionlint, and release-planner checks passed.
• Biggest risk: the first scheduled run is the live end-to-end confirmation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Clarified release workflow inputs and help text for release type/scope and wheel selection.
  • Updated release guidance to reflect that nightly releases publish only containers and Helm; wheels are stable-only.
  • Added notes that wheel selections for nightly releases fail during planning.

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the all preset to select wheels only for stable releases (nightly yields no wheels).
  • Added validation to error out when nightly releases include selected wheel artifacts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Nightly release planning now publishes containers and Helm only. The all preset excludes wheels for nightlies, explicit nightly wheel selections fail during planning, and RELEASING.md documents the updated stable and nightly behavior.

Changes

Release artifact policy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow selection and validation .github/workflows/release.yaml	Workflow inputs clarify nightly scope, the all preset excludes wheels from nightlies, and planning rejects nightly releases with selected wheels.
Release process documentation RELEASING.md	Release guidance documents nightly container and Helm publication, stable-only wheels, updated planning and dispatch behavior, and nightly wheel selection failures.
