The release job used pnpm/action-setup@v5 without a version input,
which requires a packageManager field in package.json. Repos that
don't have this field fail at Setup pnpm, blocking all releases.
Mirror the resilient two-step pattern already used in plugin-ci.yaml:
- If packageManager is present: use Corepack (respects pinned version)
- If absent: fall back to pnpm/action-setup@v5 with version: latest
Fixes the systemic v1.0.0 release failures across kube-vip, sealed-secrets,
tns-csi, and rook (PRI-866).
