Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): add continue-on-error to publish-runtime-autobump
 (closes #504)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

publish-runtime-autobump fires on every push to main/staging that touches
workspace/. It posts a commit status — and exits non-zero when there's
nothing to bump, a DISPATCH_TOKEN is missing, or a tag already exists.
None of those mean "the pushed code is broken," but they flip main's
combined status to failure and trip the main-red-watchdog, generating
false-positive issues (#494, #504).

Fix: add `continue-on-error: true` to the autobump-and-tag job so
operational failures (infra degradation, missing secrets, pre-existing
tags) post success instead of failure. The fail-loud path remains in
publish-runtime.yml which tests whether the runtime package actually
builds and uploads.
