Publish only after successful CI

Run the publish workflow from the workflow_run event so Docker publishing happens only after the CI workflow completes successfully for push events on main or v* tags.

Check out the exact SHA validated by CI and derive Docker metadata from the upstream CI ref, so publishing follows the tested revision instead of the default branch tip.
