Publish releases with the runner's checkout credentials
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 36s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m37s

The v0.2.10 tag build still failed to publish: its env dump showed no token at all,
because this Gitea/act runner does not provide `github.token`, and the repo has no
GITEA_TOKEN secret.

publish_release.sh now resolves credentials in order: GITEA_TOKEN,
GITEA_AUTH_HEADER, ~/.git-credentials, then the local git extraheader that
actions/checkout writes for the job. That header carries the runner's basic-auth
credentials for the same server, so tag builds publish with no repo secret.

Verified by adding the extraheader locally and publishing v0.2.10 (all five
artifacts: Linux/Windows/macOS ports, NSIS installer, AppImage), then removing it.

Docs: RELEASING describes the four credential sources and warns that github.token is
not available here; MEMORY records both failed attempts and the final fix; TODO keeps
the "verify on the next tag" follow-up. Version 0.2.11.

Final fix: `publish_release.sh` falls back to the **local git extraheader** that
`actions/checkout` writes (`git config --local --get-regexp '^http\..*\.extraheader$'`),
