chore(release): skip release on self-* workflow changes

[bedatty]

GitHub Actions Shared Workflows

---

Description

Adds .github/workflows/self-*.yml to the paths-ignore filter of the self-release.yml push trigger. self-* workflows are internal entrypoints for this repo only and are not consumed by external callers — changes to them don't alter the public contract of reusable workflows or composites, so they shouldn't trigger a new release/tag.

Affected workflow: .github/workflows/self-release.yml.

Type of Change

• feat: New workflow or new input/output/step in an existing workflow
• fix: Bug fix in a workflow (incorrect behavior, broken step, wrong condition)
• perf: Performance improvement (e.g. caching, parallelism, reduced steps)
• refactor: Internal restructuring with no behavior change
• docs: Documentation only (README, docs/, inline comments)
• ci: Changes to self-CI (workflows under .github/workflows/ that run on this repo)
• chore: Dependency bumps, config updates, maintenance
• test: Adding or updating tests
• BREAKING CHANGE: Callers must update their configuration after this PR

Breaking Changes

None.

Testing

• YAML syntax validated locally
• Triggered a real workflow run on a caller repository using @develop or the beta tag
• Verified all existing inputs still work with default values
• Confirmed no secrets or tokens are printed in logs
• Checked that unrelated workflows are not affected

Caller repo / workflow run: N/A — change only narrows the trigger filter on this repo's release entrypoint.
