Summary

Release tags now reuse successful CI on the exact tagged commit, avoiding a second full CI run.

• Gate: accept push or manually dispatched CI runs, wait up to an hour while an eligible run is active, and fail with recovery steps when none passed or remains active. Publication also requires every target build.
• Dry runs: branch dispatches still call CI. Tag dispatches use the same gate as tag pushes.
• Docs: document the gate and how to run CI before releasing a backport commit.

This preserves #210's exact-commit CI requirement. Reused runs can predate the release and its runner images. Pull request runs are excluded because they test a merge commit.

Test plan

• Full local verification, actionlint and hooks passed on original patch head 96ba906a9.
• Nine query fixtures cover passing, active and ineligible runs, including success or activity on a second page. Mutations confirmed the pagination and API-failure checks detect their regressions. Live queries accepted a passing main commit and rejected a SHA without runs.
• Final head 15659d5d passed CI, release-build checks, and formula checks.
• The tag-triggered gate has not run in Actions. Publication was skipped, and no tag or release was created to test that path.
