release.yml creates GitHub releases using the default GITHUB_TOKEN, whose events don't cascade to trigger other workflows. As a result publish.yml's `release: published` trigger has never fired in the repo's history despite releases being created successfully - every PyPI release so far was published manually. Trigger publish.yml directly off the version tag push (same trigger release.yml uses) so it runs reliably, and add a tag/pyproject.toml version check to guard against publishing a mismatched version.
