Intent: why does this change exist?

The official release workflow does not run from an epic branch (cloudserverclient#31), so the D1 epic carries its own copy of it, and we release by running that copy from the epic. The copy differs from development only where the original creates a GitHub release. It is row 3.1 of the Tickets tab.

System impact: what's affected, including downstream?

Only .github/workflows/release.yaml on the Arsenal epic. A run publishes @scality/arsenal to npm and GitHub Packages under latest-X.Y.Z-bnaas, so CloudServer, backbeat and Vault can pin the exact version.

Preserved behavior: what explicitly stays the same?

Every other job and step stays as in development, including the checks that refuse a version whose tag or release already exists. Development keeps its own file, and the final merge drops this copy.

Intended change: what's different after this PR?

The branch check also accepts epic/*, and the last step creates the git tag with the job token (gh api .../git/refs) instead of creating a GitHub release. The hand-pushed 8.6.1-bnaas.1 tag was deleted, so the first run creates it again on the same commit and publishes 8.6.1-bnaas.1.

Verification: how do we know this worked, or how would we know if it didn't?

actionlint reports nothing new. After the merge, one run from the epic must make npm view @scality/arsenal@8.6.1-bnaas.1 answer and create the tag 8.6.1-bnaas.1, with no GitHub release.

Closing: D1 will not release from the epic branches. Arsenal and cloudserverclient changes go through the development branches and ship in normal releases, and Federation pins the CI images of the epics by commit sha.
