ci: fix release workflow failing on multi-package bumps

[kibertoad]

Summary

The latest release run (26020816084) failed at the Bump versions for changed packages step with:

[ERR_PNPM_UNCLEAN_WORKING_TREE] Working tree is not clean. Commit or stash your changes.

pnpm version runs a clean-tree check independent of --no-git-tag-version, so once the first package bump dirties the tree, every subsequent bump in the loop fails. pnpm exposes --no-git-checks as the documented escape hatch for this.

• Add --no-git-checks to the per-package pnpm version call to bypass the clean-tree check.
• Disable actions/setup-node's automatic package-manager caching on the release job (package-manager-cache: false). The release job is a one-shot publish — caching adds noise without benefit, and v6 of setup-node enables it by default whenever `packageManager` is set in `package.json`.

Test plan

• Merge and confirm the next qualifying PR triggers a successful publish run that bumps multiple packages in a single matrix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The publish workflow is updated to address pnpm 11 compatibility issues. Package manager caching is explicitly disabled in the Node setup step, and the per-package version bump command switches from pnpm to npm to avoid working tree cleanliness constraints encountered when bumping multiple packages.

Changes

Publish workflow CI/CD fixes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Node setup cache configuration .github/workflows/publish.yml	actions/setup-node explicitly disables package-manager-cache to ensure a clean environment for the publish workflow.
Version bump mechanism .github/workflows/publish.yml	Per-package version bumping switches from pnpm version to npm version --no-git-tag-version to avoid pnpm 11's enforcement of a clean working tree when bumping multiple packages sequentially.

• kibertoad/message-queue-toolkit#438: The main PR's switch to npm version during version bumping directly addresses issues introduced by #438's earlier switch to pnpm version.
• kibertoad/message-queue-toolkit#379: Both PRs modify .github/workflows/publish.yml to adjust package-manager caching settings in the publish workflow.
• kibertoad/message-queue-toolkit#377: Updates to the publish workflow's Node setup and version-bump steps are directly related to #377's earlier workflow modifications.

A rabbit hops through workflows with care,
Disabling caches in the publish air,
From pnpm back to npm's embrace,
Keeping trees clean in their rightful place! 🐰✨
