bvandeusen a254cb2273 ci(release): close the verify blind spot, check preconditions before the build
Auditing the gating turned up two problems.

verify-release only checked the APK. Because it runs with `always()`, it
runs even when image-release FAILED — so android succeeding while the image
push died would have reported "verified" on a release with no immutable
:vYYYY.MM.DD image. That is exactly half of what was missing when
v2026.08.07 had to be re-cut, so the guard would have caught the incident we
had and waved through its mirror image. Now checks the image too, via
docker manifest inspect.

"Attach APK to gitea Release" resolves the release by tag and fails if it is
absent — but it is the LAST step, so a bare `git push origin vX` built an
APK for several minutes before discovering it had nowhere to put it. Same
check now runs immediately after version computation: seconds, not minutes.
Releases created through the API create tag and release together and pass it.

The rest of the gating audits clean, and one part is worth not "fixing":
image-release's `if: !failure() && !cancelled()` looks odd next to
`needs: [android-release]` but is correct. On main pushes android-release is
SKIPPED, and a skipped dependency is not success() — so the obvious
`if: success()` would silently stop main from ever publishing :latest.
Steps 4/5 vs 6 are mutually exclusive on the tag context, and every image
step gates on the Dockerfile+go.mod guard.

Validated: YAML parses, and `bash -n` over every run: block in all three
jobs is clean.

# Builds and pushes the minstrel container image to the Gitea registry.
#
# push to main → :main and :latest (latest-release APK bundled)
# push tag vYYYY.MM.DD → :vYYYY.MM.DD and :latest (freshly-built APK bundled)
# workflow_dispatch → manual trigger (same rules based on the ref)
#
# Release model: per-day CalVer tags (no trailing patch digit). The day's
# tag is intentionally mutable — if a second release happens the same day,
# move the tag with `git push -f origin vYYYY.MM.DD` and the image tag of
# the same name gets overwritten. :latest is updated by every main push
# AND every tag push, so it always reflects the newest blessed image.
#
# APK pipeline: on tag pushes the android-release job builds + signs the
# Android APK and uploads it as a workflow artifact. The image-release
# job declares `needs: android-release`, so the docker image cannot
# start building until the APK is guaranteed-ready — no polling, no
# race, no silent-failure mode. Asset attachment to the gitea Release
# happens in the same android-release job, so the Release-page download
# link and the in-image bundled APK are both populated atomically.
#
# :latest always carries an APK. Because every main push also moves
# :latest (not just tags), a main build with no APK would silently strip
# the in-app update channel off :latest until the next release. So on
# non-tag builds image-release pulls the MOST RECENT release's signed APK
# and reconstructs its exact versionName (tag + commit-count, the same
# formula android-release bakes in) for the version sidecar — no rebuild,
# just rebundle. Tag builds keep bundling their own freshly-built APK.
#
# Android testing (lint + detekt + unit tests, debug APK upload on main)
# lives in android.yml and runs independently on every push.
