The release workflow used git push origin HEAD, which pushes to whichever branch triggered workflow_dispatch. If run from a non-main branch, the version bump commit and CHANGELOG update would never land on main.

Changes

• Checkout: Added ref: main so the release job always starts from the latest main, regardless of dispatch branch.
• Push: Changed git push origin HEAD → git push origin HEAD:main to explicitly target main.
