CI: Fix release script

The release script is supposed to do checks if a PR looks like a
release tracking PR but it has bugs:

- The grep statement is too loose, it catches changes to
`rust-version` as well as git context (not just changes).
- The grep statement causes the script to exit if it fails.
- The crate list is stale.

Fix all this so the script does what its supposed to.

There is no change to the Rust code that handles Bitcoin data, cryptography, or network messages, and no security-relevant behavior is introduced or fixed.

Commit message · Nick Johnson

primitives: single allocation witness decoder

This converts the new witness decoder to use the optimized single
allocation internal memory structure which was shown back in
commit 2fd0125 with the old decoder to be a lot more performant,
justifying this increased complexity.

68/100 · AdequateMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Informational 17/100

This commit is a performance optimization inside the library that decodes Bitcoin transaction witness data. It replaces a decoder that allocated many small memory buffers with one that uses a single larger buffer and grows it as needed. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it is described by the author as a performance improvement. The new code does add bounds checks, resizing logic, and tests for empty and incomplete inputs, which reduces the chance of memory-handling mistakes, but the change itself is not labeled as a security fix.

This is a routine maintenance update to a GitHub Actions workflow.

This commit adds a new scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that runs an automated security scanner called zizmor against the repository's CI/CD configuration every day. It does not change any application code, fix a bug, or introduce a vulnerability. It is purely a defensive security monitoring addition.

This commit only adds code-quality comments to two GitHub workflow files so that the zizmor security linter stops flagging the use of 'pull_request_target' and 'workflow_run' triggers. It does not change any workflow logic, permissions, or behavior, and therefore has no direct security impact on the project itself.

This commit tightens the security settings on the project's GitHub Actions workflows. Previously, these automated scripts likely ran with broad default permissions that could let a compromised action read or modify code, open pull requests, or access secrets. The change sets the default permission to 'none' and then explicitly grants each workflow only the minimum permissions it actually needs (mostly just reading the repository, with write access only where required). This is a defensive hardening measure rather than a fix for an active attack.

This commit changes the project's GitHub Actions CI workflows so that after checking out the source code, the temporary GitHub authentication token is no longer kept in memory for later steps. This is a defensive hardening change: it reduces the risk that a compromised third-party action or malicious build step could steal the token and modify the repository or release artifacts. It does not fix an active bug in the Bitcoin library code itself.

This commit only changes how GitHub Actions automation is configured. It replaces floating version tags like @v5 with exact commit hashes (plus a comment showing the version). This is a standard hardening practice to prevent a compromised third-party action from silently updating under the same tag. It does not change any of the project's actual Bitcoin/Rust code, so it cannot directly introduce or fix a vulnerability in the library users depend on.

This commit only changes how often the project's automated dependency bot checks for GitHub Actions updates. It adds a 60-day cooldown to Dependabot. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security vulnerability being patched.
