ci: pushes to next can no longer publish untested — release.yml was the only workflow triggering on next and ran zero tests before changeset publish; a test job (plugin build + the ssr, css-matrix, turnkey, start-client, and start-env suites) now gates the release job, the browser suites take the runner's preinstalled Chrome via CHROME_BIN (macOS app path stays the default), and the e2e/vitest workflows cover next alongside main
