ci: trigger release-asset build on release.published

[chubes4]

Problem

#2031 added a build-release-asset job to .github/workflows/homeboy.yml gated on needs.homeboy.outputs.released == 'true'. v0.116.0 was released after that PR merged. The job was skipped on every release run and the ZIP never published.

Root cause: the reusable workflow at Extra-Chill/homeboy-action/.github/workflows/ci.yml@v2 only exposes a matrix output, not released / release-tag / release-version. Those outputs exist on homeboy-action's standalone release.yml workflow, but consumers calling the ci.yml reusable workflow don't get them. The gate needs.homeboy.outputs.released == 'true' was always evaluating to false.

Fix

Moves the asset build into its own .github/workflows/release-asset.yml file triggered on the release.published event. The release tag flows through github.event.release.tag_name — no dependency on the CI workflow's outputs.

Also exposes a workflow_dispatch input so an existing tag can be backfilled by hand.

Validation

• YAML parse-checked both workflow files.
• gh release upload --clobber semantics preserved.

Backfill

After merge, run the new workflow against v0.116.0:

gh workflow run release-asset.yml --ref main --field tag=v0.116.0

That will produce data-machine.zip on the existing v0.116.0 release without needing a new tag.
