fix(release): mint the plugin publish token before cli/stable moves

[sunny-wego]

Why

The last promote moved cli/stable to 1.4.1, then failed at "Mint the plugin publish token": GitHub refused SKILLS_PUBLISH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (401, "A JSON web token could not be decoded"). The plugin was never published, and the only way back was a rollback.

What changes

• The mint step now runs with the other gates, before "Advance cli/stable", and no longer waits on the move's output. A wrong or deleted key, or an App that cannot reach wego/skills, now fails the promote while stable is untouched.
• The token lasts an hour and the job times out at 30 minutes (the last run took 80 s), so the publish steps still have a valid token.
• docs/release.md lists the mint in the before-the-move gate table.
• scripts/workflow-lanes.test.ts pins the order.

Not in this PR

The broken key itself. It has to be replaced in the stable-promote environment from the Wego Plugin Publisher App's settings page.
