Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): push tag to Codeberg before creating the release
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The first fix didn't help: the pipeline creates the tag via the Gitea
API, and the push mirror (sync_on_commit only fires on real git pushes)
doesn't propagate an API-created tag promptly. So the Codeberg release
POST still raced the mirror and 500'd on a commit/tag Codeberg hadn't
received (0.2.1 and 0.3.0 both shipped everywhere but Codeberg).

Push the tag straight to Codeberg from the runner (guaranteed present),
then attach the release to that existing tag with no target_commitish —
which is what Forgejo 500s on. Race-free.
