Fix: bypass branch protection in publish workflow

[utkarsh232005]

This PR updates the publish workflow to use the GH_PAT secret for the checkout step. This allows the workflow to authenticate with sufficient permissions to push tags and version bumps directly to the protected main branch, provided the GH_PAT owner has 'Admin' bypass permissions in the repository ruleset.

Walkthrough

The publish workflow now authenticates the checkout step using a GitHub personal access token (GH_PAT) instead of relying on default checkout permissions. This enables authenticated repository access for downstream build, version bump, publish, and release operations.
