fix(ci): fix publish workflow YAML parse error

[carlos-alm]

Summary

• Line 20 of publish.yml uses !startsWith(...) in a bare if: expression — YAML interprets the ! as a tag prefix, causing a parse error before any jobs run
• Wraps the expression in ${{ }} so YAML sees it as a plain string

Every push to main since PR #26 was merged has been failing instantly with "You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 20".

Test plan

• Merge and verify the next push-triggered Publish run starts jobs successfully

Greptile Summary

Fixes YAML parse error on line 20 by wrapping the if: expression in ${{ }}. The bare !startsWith(...) was interpreted by YAML as a tag prefix rather than a GitHub Actions expression, causing the workflow to fail before any jobs could run.

• The fix correctly preserves the conditional logic: skip dev publish when either a release event occurs OR when the commit message doesn't start with 'chore: release v'
• The ${{ }} wrapper forces YAML to treat the entire expression as a string that GitHub Actions will evaluate at runtime
• No functional changes to the workflow logic, only syntax correction

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• Single-line syntax fix that addresses a critical YAML parsing error without any logical changes. The fix follows GitHub Actions best practices for complex conditional expressions.
• No files require special attention
