chore: remove automated AMI builds from release workflow

[MicBun]

The release workflow supposed to be only on release.
The AMI build should be triggered manually as the image is handled via latest tag

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Reduced permissions in the release workflow by removing write access.
  • Removed the job that triggered downstream builds on tag releases, simplifying the pipeline.
  • Release process now runs only core steps; downstream AMI/Docker builds no longer auto-trigger automatically.
  • No impact to application behavior or user-facing features.

Poem

A tag once rang—off went the builds,
But now the bells are softly stilled.
I thump my paws: less hop, more chill,
Permissions trimmed, the queue stands still.
Carrot commits, neat and tight—hip-hop, ship right! 🥕🐇
