fix(release): gate on the last released tag, not the working tree

The gate asked whether anything moved since the last commit, so a
regeneration committed by hand left a clean tree and the next scheduled
run reported success while skipping every publish step. Nothing alerts,
because skipping is what the gate exists to do.

Compare the spec at the last release tag against the freshly regenerated
copy instead, which answers whether what is published was built from the
current spec. This needs fetch-depth 0, since the default checkout
fetches no tags and a missing tag reads as never released.
