Subject: [PATCH] Add workflow_dispatch fallback for tag-triggered releases

GitHub Actions has a known issue where tag pushes sometimes don't
trigger workflows. Add workflow_dispatch as a backup trigger that
accepts a tag parameter.

This allows manual triggering if automatic tag push trigger fails.
