Subject: [PATCH] CI: nightly release dry run

release.yml also runs nightly on main with craft-common-actions' dry-run: every release build
except macOS, with nothing signed, pushed or drafted. Breakage that only the release build hits
(riscv64, Flatpak, FreeBSD, packaging) then shows up the next morning instead of on release
day, as it did on 11 Nov 2026.
