Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): API via GITHUB_SERVER_URL, download links via
 PUBLIC_HOST

Drop fragile STAGING_HOST/PROD_HOST host-detection. The runner's
GITHUB_SERVER_URL reports the internal name (gitea.xenophon), which never
matched the public-DNS vars. Now the API uses GITHUB_SERVER_URL directly
(reliable from CI) and the release-body download links use a single
per-instance PUBLIC_HOST var (gitea.scriptorium / repos.gmgauthier.com).
