Enable manual release trigger from GitHub Actions UI. The diff base now resolves to the last release tag instead of HEAD~1, making workflow_dispatch work correctly regardless of recent commit history.

Summary
workflow_dispatchtrigger to enable manual release execution from the GitHub Actions UIHEAD~1to the last release tag (git describe --tags --abbrev=0) so the workflow works correctly regardless of how it was triggeredWhy
GitHub Actions does not trigger workflows from pushes made by
github-actions[bot](usingGITHUB_TOKEN). This means if the bot updatesmetadata.yaml, the release workflow won't fire automatically. Addingworkflow_dispatchallows manual re-triggering from the UI.The diff base change ensures
workflow_dispatchworks even when the last commit didn't touchmetadata.yaml— it compares against the last release tag instead.Changes
