Subject: [PATCH] ci: fresh-install post-release trigger via workflow_run (drop
 PAT dispatch)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The dispatch step added on the 0.0.83 train never worked: it borrowed
XIM_PKGINDEX_TOKEN, whose fine-grained resource owner is the index org and
therefore cannot cover this repository (HTTP 403 on every release, hidden
by the non-blocking fallback). Replace it with the mechanism that needs no
token at all: ci-fresh-install now declares `workflow_run: [release]` —
a platform-generated event exempt from GITHUB_TOKEN trigger suppression —
with a success guard on every job. `release: published` stays for
manually created releases; workflow_dispatch and the daily schedule are
unchanged.
