Needed before Sunday's first weekly. Without it, the weekly fails at "Verify changelog workflow evidence", as the dry run after #6373 showed (run 40402111631).

Cause

The weekly checks out the newest green master commit before releasing, and every later step then ran the release checks from that commit. CI-only PRs such as #6372 and #6373 never count as green, because the v3 test workflow doesn't run on them. So the snapshot (6a740e59c, #6366) predates #6373's fix, and the weekly ran the old evidence script ("Ran 2 tests") and failed on a deleted PR branch again.

Change (.github/workflows/nightly-release-v3.yml)

• Before the snapshot checkout, copy master's check-changelog-runs.py and its tests to $RUNNER_TEMP/release-tools and run that copy. The nightly, which has no snapshot, still runs v3/scripts.
• Unchanged:
  • The release gate and green-commit selection already run before the checkout, so they use master's versions.
  • The release script still runs on the snapshot, which its --tag-only mode needs: it commits the version bump on top of the green commit and tags that.

Verified

A weekly dry run using this branch's workflow, checking out and releasing from master (run 40402423945), succeeded end to end:

• Release gate: No blockers.
• Green selection: skipped the auto-changelog commits and the CI-only ci(release): look past auto-changelog commits in the green-commit check #6372/fix(release): map changelog runs to squash-merge commits in the evidence check #6373, and cut from 6a740e59c.
• Evidence: ran master's 8 tests. "All observed changelog runs for this release snapshot succeeded."
• Release script (dry run): v3.0.0 → v3.1.0, weekly, prerelease=false, make_latest=true, npm tag latest.

Walkthrough

The weekly release workflow copies the changelog checker and its test before checking out the selected green SHA. The changelog-evidence step uses the copied tools when available and otherwise uses v3/scripts.

Changes

Weekly changelog tools

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Copy and run changelog tools .github/workflows/nightly-release-v3.yml	The weekly step copies the checker and its test to a temporary directory before the detached checkout and publishes the directory as tools. The changelog-evidence step uses that directory when set and otherwise uses v3/scripts.

_{A rabbit packs the scripts with care,
Before the green commit lands there.
The checker hops to its new place,
The test follows at a steady pace.
If tools are gone, the old path’s there!}
