💡 Motivation and Context

Release workflows should not rely on needs: as the only connection between an approved environment-gated job and the jobs that publish packages, push release tags, or create GitHub releases. A modified workflow could otherwise remove that dependency and run trusted release steps without the intended approval gate.

This PR keeps release side effects behind the protected release environment.

💚 How did you test it?

  • Parsed the changed workflow YAML with Python/PyYAML.
  • Ran git diff --check.
  • Confirmed the branch contains the latest origin/main before opening this draft PR.

📝 Checklist

  • I reviewed the submitted code.
  • I added tests to verify the changes.
  • I updated the docs if needed.
  • No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.

If releasing new changes

  • Ran pnpm changeset to generate a changeset file

Fix the following 3 code review issues. Work through them one at a time, proposing concise fixes.

### Issue 1 of 3
.github/workflows/release.yml:283
**`packages_released` only set inside `create_github_release_if_missing`**

`packages_released=true` is only written inside `create_github_release_if_missing`, but NuGet push, tagging, and the push to origin all happen in `release_package` before that helper is called. If the GitHub release creation is skipped because the release already exists (the early `return 0` at line 271–274), `packages_released` stays `false` even though NuGet packages were published and tags were pushed. As a result, the `notify-released` job's condition (`needs.release.outputs.packages-released == 'true'`) will never fire for the "NuGet push succeeded but GitHub release already existed" path, silently suppressing the Slack success notification.

### Issue 2 of 3
.github/workflows/release.yml:74
**Retry path bypasses `notify-approval-needed`, but the environment gate still fires**

When `has-release-commit=true` (retry scenario) and `has-changesets=false`, the `notify-approval-needed` job is skipped because its `if: needs.check-changesets.outputs.has-changesets == 'true'` condition is false. The `release` job still requires `needs: [check-changesets, notify-approval-needed]` and uses `if: always() && (...)`, so it does proceed — but no Slack approval message is sent to inform the team that an environment-gated release run is about to execute. An approver clicking "Approve" in the GitHub UI has no corresponding Slack notification to connect it to the original release context.

### Issue 3 of 3
.github/workflows/release.yml:305-307
**`git diff HEAD^ HEAD` reliability depends on `RELEASE_COMMIT` being the version-bump commit**

If the `has-release-commit` heuristic resolves a `RELEASE_COMMIT` that is not actually the version-bump commit, `HEAD^`/`HEAD` would diff across an unrelated commit boundary and `release_package` would silently skip all packages. A defensive assertion or log confirming that the resolved commit's subject matches `[version bump]` inside `release_package` would make any mis-detection explicit rather than silently skipping the release.
