Subject: [PATCH] Trigger push_gem workflow after tagging, and allow manual
 dispatch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Publishing 4.14.0 tagged v4.14.0 and created the GitHub release, but
push_gem.yml did not run and no gem was pushed to RubyGems.

Root cause: GitHub Actions does not trigger downstream workflows for
events driven by GITHUB_TOKEN. script/publish now runs inside the
publish-release workflow, which uses GITHUB_TOKEN for its checkout —
so the 'git push origin v4.14.0' from that job does not fire the
'push: tags: v*' event on push_gem.yml. Previous releases were tagged
by a maintainer running script/publish locally with a PAT, which is
why push_gem always fired for them.

Two changes:

- Add a workflow_dispatch trigger to push_gem.yml with a required
  'tag' input, and check that tag out. This lets a maintainer manually
  push the gem for a specific tag (needed right now to publish v4.14.0
  to RubyGems).
- At the end of script/publish, dispatch push_gem.yml with the freshly
  created tag. || true so any dispatch failure never masks a successful
  release. This makes future releases push the gem automatically even
  when script/publish runs from Actions.
