Adds a manual way to release, alongside the existing tag push. Run .NET from the Actions tab or with gh workflow run dotnet.yml -f version=X.Y.Z, choosing the branch to release.
The release job then:
builds and tests (the build job, as today);
packs X.Y.Z and pushes it to NuGet through the existing Trusted Publishing login, with --skip-duplicate so a re-run doesn't fail on a version NuGet already has;
creates the tag X.Y.Z on the released commit, or accepts it if it already points there, and fails if it points elsewhere;
publishes the GitHub release with the .nupkg, as today.
Pushing a bare X.Y.Z tag still releases exactly as before. The workflow file name is unchanged, so the NuGet Trusted Publishing policy still matches.
A tag created with GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't start another workflow run. That is why the manual run publishes itself instead of creating a tag and relying on the tag trigger, and why it can't publish twice.
Added a manual release option with a required version in X.Y.Z format. Releases can now be created from a selected commit, with checks to prevent conflicting version tags.
Improvements
Release packages and GitHub releases use the selected version. NuGet publishing now skips duplicate packages.
A run started with a version packs and publishes that version from the
selected branch, then tags the released commit. Pushing a tag still
releases as before; a re-run skips a version NuGet already has.

The release workflow now supports manual dispatch with a required version. It validates and selects the version, uses it for packaging and NuGet publishing, checks or creates the version tag for manual runs, and sets the GitHub release tag.

Summary
Manual dispatch and version selection .github/workflows/dotnet.yml
Manual dispatch accepts a required X.Y.Z version. The release job runs for tag pushes or manual dispatches, and the workflow exposes valid versions as outputs.
Packaging and NuGet publishing use the selected version, and NuGet pushes skip duplicates. Manual runs create a missing version tag at GITHUB_SHA or fail if an existing tag points elsewhere. The GitHub release action uses the selected version as its tag name.
Manual releases can fail after publishing to NuGet or publish GitHub assets that differ from the existing NuGet package. Resolve publication ordering, package provenance, and version/tag handling before merging.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/dotnet.yml:
- Around line 63-65: Update the manual-version validation around the VERSION
check so workflow_dispatch releases reject any component with a leading zero,
while preserving the existing numeric three-component format and validation
behavior for other event types.
- Line 96: Update the `existing` lookup in the tag-check workflow to resolve
annotated tags to their target commit SHA before comparing with the selected
commit. Preserve the existing behavior for lightweight tags so an
already-published version pointing to the selected commit passes the check and
does not skip the release upload.
- Line 96: Update the `git ls-remote` tag lookup that populates `existing` to
authenticate using the workflow’s existing repository credentials, and
distinguish a successful lookup with no matching tag from a lookup failure. Only
treat an empty result after a successful query as a missing tag; propagate
lookup errors so the workflow does not attempt to recreate an existing tag or
continue after an authentication failure.
- Around line 90-91: Move the tag-ownership validation in the release workflow
so it runs before the NuGet push; ensure a tag pointing to a different commit
blocks publishing, rather than failing only at the later “Tag the released
commit” step gated by `steps.check-tag.outputs.match`.
- Line 87: Update the NuGet release workflow around the dotnet nuget push step
to verify that any already-published package version came from the selected
commit before tagging or uploading. If provenance cannot be verified or does not
match, stop the release rather than relying on --skip-duplicate.

Reject leading-zero components in manual versions.
A manual version such as 01.2.3 produces NosCore.Algorithm.1.2.3.nupkg, but the push looks for NosCore.Algorithm.01.2.3.nupkg. The release fails before publication. Reject leading-zero components for manual releases.

Verify duplicate package provenance before releasing.
If NuGet already has this version from another commit, --skip-duplicate lets the workflow tag the selected commit and upload its new package. NuGet still serves the older package. Verify the published package’s provenance before tagging and uploading.

Authenticate the tag lookup.
In a private repository, a manual release with an existing tag can fail after the NuGet push: the unauthenticated lookup returns no tag, so the workflow tries to create it again. Authenticate the lookup and distinguish lookup errors from missing tags.
