Fix red CI: lowercase GHCR tags; stop gating release check on local Tier A (#6)

Three workflows were failing on main.

Build GeneCluster runner image / Build GeneCluster Superpowers image:
Both derived IMAGE_NAME from ${{ github.repository_owner }} ("BioSymphony"),
producing tags like ghcr.io/BioSymphony/... which GHCR rejects with
"repository name must be lowercase". Compute IMAGE_NAME in a new
"Normalize image name" step via ${OWNER,,}, and lowercase the Superpowers
DEFAULT_BASE_IMAGE owner the same way so it can pull the runner base image.

Public release check (runs on every push + PR):
make public-audit -> capability ran capability_probe.py, which exits 1
unless Tier A local tooling (PyMOL/ChimeraX GUIs, conda, the ValarTTS
server on :8787) is present. A hosted runner never has these, so the gate
could not pass in CI. Add a --no-fail (report-only) flag to the probe and
pass it from the `capability` Make target; direct invocation without the
flag keeps the exit-1 local-readiness signal.

Verified: `make public-release-check` now exits 0 locally (101 unit tests
pass, all audits clean). The image-build workflows trigger on push to main
(and their own paths), so they re-run on merge.
