Subject: [PATCH] ci(loader): gate GitHub Release publishing on [Release]
 commit marker

Add an opt-in publish step at the tail of the build job:

- Bump job permissions to contents: write so the workflow token can
  create releases.
- Read the HEAD commit message via `git log -1` and set an
  is_release output when it contains the literal substring [Release].
- When set, `gh release create build-<sha>` and attach the staged
  OpenZenLoader-<sha>.exe and OpenZen-<sha>.jar. Notes are piped
  through a file (--notes-file) so brackets / newlines in the commit
  message can't corrupt the CLI invocation.

Pushes without the marker keep producing only the existing per-build
artifacts.
