fix(ci): restrict branch image publishes to release refs

[faizansaiyed123]

Summary

Fixes #9054.

• Restrict the CE branch build workflow's manual dispatch to approved release refs.
• Allow existing master, preview, and canary branch paths.
• Allow explicit release-tag dispatches only when the workflow is run as a Release.
• Prevent arbitrary feature branches from reaching the public makeplane/* image publishing jobs.

Validation

• Based directly on the latest upstream preview.
• One commit, one workflow file, no unrelated changes.
• Existing push triggers for preview and canary remain unchanged.
• The workflow-level guard prevents downstream build/publish jobs from running when a disallowed ref is selected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Builds
  • Automated build setup now runs for the master, preview, and canary branches, and for version tags when a release build is selected. Other refs skip this setup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The build workflow now limits branch_build_setup to master, preview, and canary, or to a v-prefixed tag when the manual build type is Release. Other refs skip the job.

Branch build ref gating

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Restrict setup job by ref .github/workflows/build-branch.yml	A job-level condition allows branch_build_setup to run for master, preview, canary, or a v-prefixed tag when the manual build type is Release. Other refs skip the job.

The change limits public image publishing to release refs, but the condition is still too loose. A manual dispatch from a tag named like a protected branch, or from a non-release v-prefixed tag, can publish images under a valid release version. Tighten the condition before merging.

Require the allowed ref type and validate the release tag.

The branch checks do not require github.ref_type == 'branch', so tags named master, preview, or canary also pass. The tag check accepts any name starting with v. The later SemVer check validates releaseVersion, not the selected ref, so a run from a feature commit tagged v-feature can publish using a different, valid release version.

Require branch refs for the three named branches. For tag refs, validate the selected tag against the release format and ensure it matches the release version before setup runs.
