Release CI completes without the test suite

Release 2.2.1 went out. The release/2.2.1 branch didn't seem to run the tests:

Seems related to:

• https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/issues/1845

The release with version version has the full CI run:

• https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/actions/runs/11263831196

The release with release/version doesn't:

• https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/actions/runs/11261339740

Also note the two different bots involved

For context: This was done intentionally. The idea was: If main is green it should not take two hours for a release to go through. But as the team is growing we should rethink such a "by convention" processes.

I see, that makes sense. But do we have safeguards to make sure the build from the branch (not just main) that we're releasing from is green and hence the release build doesn't need CI?

Also, even package validation doesn't run? If we make any mistake during the release flow (bumping versions, etc) no visibility

Build and Package Validation are part of the Release run.
