Summary

When a PR is merged to main, auto-release now checks for an existing RC release and promotes it to stable instead of doing a full minor bump + rebuild. When a draft PR is opened to main, the highest pre-release is automatically promoted to RC.

Changes

Draft PR to main = Promote to RC

New promote-rc job triggers on pull_request: opened with draft == true
Uses release_promote.php --from auto --to release-candidate
Cascades lesser channels (deletes dev/alpha)

Merged PR to main = Promote RC to stable

New "Check for RC release" step queries Gitea API
If RC found: skips version bump and package build, promotes via release_promote.php
If no RC: falls back to full build pipeline (minor bump + build from source)
Fixed cascade step: was using --org/--repo/--gitea-url flags that release_cascade.php does not parse (should be --api-base)
