ci: Add a new step to update pyln versions out of WORKDIR
The Publish distribution stage was failing because it executed the update-pyln-versions script from within the WORKDIR, which created an invalid context. To resolve this, we have decoupled the process, separating the updating of version state into its own step that runs from the root directory before the publish operation.
Changelog-None.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine fix to the project's automated package-publishing workflow. The change moves a version-update step so it runs from the correct directory before publishing Python packages. There is no security-relevant change and no indication of a vulnerability.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal CI maintenance commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies .github/workflows/pypi.yml. It extracts the make update-pyln-versions step out of the ‘Publish distribution’ job’s run block (which executed inside WORKDIR) into a separate workflow step that runs from the repository root. The publish step no longer changes into WORKDIR or runs the version update. This is a CI/CD correctness fix for an invalid working-directory context during PyPI publishing.
