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 (Summary)

Workflow token migration: prefer GITHUB_TOKEN (fallback CHARON_TOKEN) across release and maintenance workflows.
Stabilized release workflow prerelease detection and artifact publication.
Prior (already merged earlier) CI enhancements: pinned action versions, Docker multi-arch debug tooling reliability, dynamic dlv binary resolution.
Documentation updates enumerating each incremental workflow/token adjustment for auditability.

Commits Ahead of `feature/alpha-completion`

(See docs/beta_release_draft_pr.md for full enumerated list.) Latest unique commit: 5727c586 (refreshed body snapshot).

Rationale

Ensures alpha integration branch inherits hardened CI/release pipeline and updated secret naming policy before further alpha feature consolidation.

Risk & Mitigation

Secret Name Change: Prefer GITHUB_TOKEN (keep CHARON_TOKEN as a fallback). Mitigation: Verify GITHUB_TOKEN (or CHARON_TOKEN) presence before merge.
Workflow Fan-out: Reusable workflow path validated locally; CI run (draft) will confirm.

Follow-ups (Out of Scope)

Frontend test coverage improvements (ProxyHostForm).
Additional beta observability and import validation tasks.

Checklist

YAML lint (pre-commit passed)
Secret reference consistency
Release artifact list intact
Draft PR CI run (pending after opening)

Requested Review Focus

Confirm GITHUB_TOKEN (or CHARON_TOKEN fallback) availability.
Sanity-check release artifact matrix remains correct.
Spot any residual GITHUB_TOKEN or CHARON_TOKEN references missed.

Generated draft to align branches; will convert to ready-for-review after validation.
