Fix release workflow checkout auth failure by removing brittle custom token override

[Copilot]

The Create Release workflow fails at actions/checkout in the release job due to repository fetch authentication failure. The workflow was forcing checkout to use CREATE_RELEASE_TOKEN, which made the job dependent on external secret validity for the first step.

• Root cause addressed

  • Removed the explicit checkout token override in .github/workflows/create_release.yml so actions/checkout uses the job’s default GITHUB_TOKEN credentials path.

• Workflow change

  • release job now follows standard GitHub Actions auth behavior for checkout.
  • This eliminates early failure mode where a missing/invalid CREATE_RELEASE_TOKEN blocks the workflow before versioning/tag/push steps run.
