Bug

The pre-release workflow produces a 0-byte or broken ZIP for Joomla package extensions (type=package). The ZIP has a double-prefix (pkg_pkg_*) and empty content.

Evidence

MokoJoomGallery run #10685 (release-candidate, succeeded but broken output):

ZIP: pkg_pkg_mokogallery-01.00.01-rc.zip (0 bytes)
Double pkg_ prefix
Empty file

Root Cause

package_build.php does not handle Joomla package extensions correctly. For packages:

Sub-extensions in src/packages/*/ must be zipped individually first
Then bundled with the package manifest into the outer ZIP

Expected ZIP structure

pkg_mokojoomgallery-01.00.01-rc.zip
  pkg_mokojoomgallery.xml
  script.php
  language/
  packages/
    com_mokojoomgallery.zip
    plg_system_mokojoomgallery.zip
    plg_content_mokojoomgallery.zip
    plg_editors-xtd_mokojoomgallery.zip
    plg_webservices_mokojoomgallery.zip
    mod_mokojoomgallery.zip

Also fix

No double prefix: pkg_pkg_* should be pkg_*
Detect package type from <extension type="package"> in pkg_*.xml

Test

Trigger RC pre-release on MokoJoomGallery after fix and verify non-zero ZIP with correct structure.
