ci: deploy to galactus automatically when a tag build goes green
Build and Push Images / Build jorgecuadros-web (push) Successful in 1m55s

Build and Push Images / Deploy to galactus (push) Skipped

Cutting a release then had one manual step left: watch build.yml and
dispatch "Deploy to galactus" by hand with the version. Chain it.

build.yml gains a `deploy` job, `needs: build` and gated on
refs/tags/v*, that dispatches deploy-galactus.yml against the tag with
tag=<version> scope=app bootstrap=false skip_migrate=false. `needs`
waits for both matrix legs, so api and web are both in the registry
before prod pulls either — deploy-galactus.yml only pulls, and a
half-pushed pair leaves prod running one new image and one old one.

A dispatch rather than a `workflow_run:` trigger (which Gitea has
supported since 1.24) because deploy-galactus.yml reads
github.event.inputs.* in ten places; under workflow_run all of them are
empty strings, so the deploy would run with no tag. The dispatch keeps
that workflow's contract intact and keeps it hand-runnable, which is
how rollbacks work.

The dispatch is confirmed the same way release.yml confirms the build
started: snapshot the existing deploy-galactus run ids first, then
require a new one to appear. An accepted dispatch that creates no run
is the failure mode that cost v1.0.3 its images, and a plain "is there
a deploy run" check would be satisfied by the previous release.

Kill switch: repo variable AUTO_DEPLOY_GALACTUS=false prints the manual
command instead of deploying. Needs the existing RELEASE_TOKEN secret;
preflight fails loudly and names the manual command if it is unset.
