Subject: [PATCH] fix(ng-dev/release): ignore lock files when detecting
 snapshot changes

Update the `diff-index` command used during snapshot publishing to ignore `MODULE.bazel.lock` and `package-lock.json` files.

This prevents  triggering snapshot publishes when the only changes are in dependency lock files.
