ci: single VERSION file, version guards, goreleaser v2, CI on push

Workflow hardening based on the four-cycle release-debugging session:

Centralized versioning
- Add /VERSION at repo root as single source of truth.
- core/Makefile reads VERSION via `$(shell cat ../VERSION)`.
- Add `make bump VER=X.Y.Z` target that updates /VERSION and syncs
  sdk/package.json in one shot.

Version mismatch guards
- All three release workflows (release.yaml, release-apt.yml,
  publish-sdk.yml) now verify the release tag matches /VERSION at the
  very first step. Stale-VERSION releases fail fast with a clear hint
  to run `make bump`.

GoReleaser v2 migration
- Upgrade goreleaser-action v5 -> v6 (pinned `~> v2`).
- Add `version: 2` to .goreleaser.yaml.
- Migrate to v2 syntax: `archives.format` -> `formats: [...]`,
  `brews.folder` -> `directory`, `snapshot.name_template` ->
  `version_template`, `builds`-style references replaced with `ids:`.
- `before.hooks` can use map syntax again (v2 supports it).

Homebrew tap on stable only
- `brews.skip_upload` is now `'{{ if .Prerelease }}true{{ else }}false{{ end }}'`.
- Stops nightly releases from polluting the tap and from hitting 401
  on stale HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN. Stable main releases still publish.

CI on every push
- New ci.yml runs `go vet` + `go test -race` on the core module and
  typecheck/build/unit-tests on the SDK for every push to main/nightly
  and every PR. version-sanity job warns when /VERSION and
  sdk/package.json drift.

Version bump for next pipeline test
- /VERSION: 0.122.8
- sdk/package.json: 0.122.8
