Creates a new workflow (update-latest-tag.yml) that runs when a release is edited or published and automatically updates the 'latest' Docker tag to point to the release version if the release is marked as latest. Changes: - Add .github/workflows/update-latest-tag.yml - Triggers on release edited/released events - Checks if release is latest (not prerelease, not draft) - Pulls the versioned image and retags it as 'latest' - Supports both Docker Hub and GHCR - Uses environment variables to prevent command injection - Update .github/workflows/build-and-publish.yml - Remove 'Check if release is latest' step - Set TAG_LATEST to false (always) - Latest tag is now managed by the separate workflow Benefits: - Decouples latest tag management from release creation - Allows updating latest tag when release status changes - Cleaner separation of concerns Tagging strategy matches temporalio/temporal on Docker Hub: - Full version tags (e.g., 1.5.1) - Latest tag - SHA tags (additional, useful for debugging)
- Remove 'Upload build artifacts' step from build-and-publish.yml (no longer needed) - Add 'packages: write' permission to goreleaser.yml (required for pushing Docker images to GHCR)
