fix(ci): configure git credentials explicitly for semantic-release PAT

persist-credentials: false prevents actions/checkout from overriding
git auth with GITHUB_TOKEN. Manual credential store setup ensures
all git pushes (including from @semantic-release/git) use the PAT,
which is required to trigger the build workflow on tag push.
