fix(publish): use tag's actual commit SHA for release target
GITHUB_SHA (github.sha) reflects the workflow trigger commit, which is
the main HEAD before the prepare job ran. The tag itself points to the
release commit created by prepare — a different SHA. Gitea rejects PATCH
and POST with 403 when target_commitish doesn't match the tag's commit.

Use git rev-list -n 1 TAG to resolve the exact SHA the tag points to,
ensuring the target field is always correct regardless of when or how
the release workflow is called.
