ci: Release runs-on ubuntu-24.04 (hosted queue escape)

[ScriptedAlchemy]

Summary

Release on ubuntu-latest is sitting queued with runner_name empty (workflow_dispatch run 35166553560). This repo has no self-hosted runners, and the owner is a user account, so GitHub larger hosted runners are not available (orgs/ScriptedAlchemy/actions/hosted-runners is 404). Do not invent a larger-runner label.

Pin Release only from the floating ubuntu-latest alias to the standard hosted label ubuntu-24.04. That label is a real GitHub-hosted image and can schedule from a different pool than ubuntu-latest.

Unchanged on purpose:

• OIDC / id-token: write and the trusted-publishing Release steps
• Package CI and Changeset (runs-on stays ubuntu-latest)
• shell: bash on the pack and npm-verify steps

Test plan

• Confirm this PR's diff is .github/workflows/release.yml runs-on only (ubuntu-latest → ubuntu-24.04)
• Merge so the next Release run requests ubuntu-24.04 rather than the starved ubuntu-latest queue
• Do not merge from this agent; leave merge to the delivery whip
