Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Add release event trigger to CI workflow for automatic
 releases

This fixes the issue where creating a release through the GitHub UI
doesn't trigger the build and asset upload workflow. Now the workflow
will trigger on both:
1. Tag pushes (existing behavior)
2. Release creation/publication events (new behavior)

The workflow determines the correct tag name based on the event type
and handles both cases appropriately.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Improve release workflow tag detection and release notes
 handling

- Add explicit check for tag push events to avoid ambiguity
- Only auto-generate release notes for tag pushes, not for UI-created releases
- Add error handling for unexpected event types
- Add comments explaining the behavior for different trigger types
