Beta Release Draft Pull Request

Overview

This draft PR merges recent beta preparation changes from feature/beta-release into feature/alpha-completion to align the alpha integration branch with the latest CI, workflow, and release process improvements.

Changes Included

1. Workflow Token Updates
   • Prefer GITHUB_TOKEN with CPMP_TOKEN as a fallback to maintain backward compatibility.
   • Ensured consistent secret reference across release.yml and renovate_prune.yml.
2. Release Workflow Adjustments
   • Fixed environment variable configuration for release publication.
   • Maintained prerelease logic for alpha/beta/rc tags.
3. CI Stability Improvements
   • Prior earlier commits (already merged previously) included action version pinning for reproducibility and security.
4. Docker Build Reliability
   • (Previously merged) Improvements to locate and package the dlv binary reliably in multi-arch builds.
