Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): use develop branch for dry-run builds in
 beta-release workflow (#276)

When dry_run=true, the workflow skipped creating the version tag but
build jobs still tried to checkout that non-existent tag, causing all
4 platform builds to fail with "git failed with exit code 1".

Now build jobs checkout develop branch for dry runs while still using
the version tag for real releases.

Closes: GitHub Actions run #20464082726
