Merge pull request 'CI: build on main (and drop the :main tag)' (#57) from dev into main

:latest (release-only) is the single production pointer; a :main moving
tag just duplicated it. main pushes still gate + build (the :<sha> image
is the rollback point), but no longer publish a :main alias. The tag was
new and unreferenced, so nothing depends on it.
