Handle merge queue events in release job gating

[Copilot]

ci.yml already listens to merge_group, but the release job condition did not include that event, so release/snapshot execution was skipped for merge queue runs. This updates the job gate to treat merge_group consistently with existing PR/tag-triggered behavior.

• Workflow condition update

  • Updated .github/workflows/ci.yml jobs.release.if to include github.event_name == 'merge_group'.
  • Kept existing tag-push (refs/tags/v*) and pull_request logic unchanged.

• Resulting behavior

  • release now runs for:
    • version tag pushes
    • pull requests
    • merge queue (merge_group) events

if: (github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v') || github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.event_name == 'merge_group')

Original prompt

Update the if statement of the release job in ci.yml to account for merge group events. Create a new branch and pull request for the change.
