Root cause found via SSH log analysis (actions_log/.../2324.log):
'git config user.name' returned exit code 1 (no global identity set
in the Gitea Actions runner container), and since the step uses
'bash -e -o pipefail', the script aborted immediately at that line
before ever reaching 'git tag'.
Fix: explicitly set git user.name/user.email before tagging, and
remove the fragile bare 'git config user.name' debug calls.
Also removed the '|| echo ...continuing' fallback on git push so
push failures are now visible as real failures instead of swallowed.
