Migrate release workflow auth to deploy key + per-repo FG PAT#2349
Merged
Conversation
Switches actions/checkout from token-auth (shared PAT) to ssh-key (per-repo deploy key), and the gh CLI GITHUB_TOKEN from the shared PAT to a per-repo FG PAT. Both reads pull from per-repo Secrets Manager secrets (deploy-key + fg-pat). Depends on per-repo SM secrets being created on the bot account; do not merge before then or the workflow will fail at next release run.

This PR depends on
prod/devops/aws-lambda-dotnet-deploy-keyandprod/devops/aws-lambda-dotnet-fg-patbeing populated on the bot's credential-storage account by the change-management workstream coordinating this rollout. Merging before then would break the next release run.Why
Aligns release workflow auth with internal per-repo credential scoping: 120-day FG PAT expiry, minimum scope, deploy-key push, and a DeployKey-bypass branch ruleset replacing the shared-PAT bypass.
