fix(release): always move v1.0.0-beta.1 to release commit when present

Drop the "already in main history" skip; that check could pass on the
runner while semantic-release still sees "No git tag version found".
Instead, whenever the tag exists, move it to the chore(release): 1.0.0-beta.1
commit (or a known-in-history fallback) so it is always in "git tag --merged main".
Only push when not dry run.
