workflow_dispatch section enables manual triggering of GitHub Actions workflow

this will make sure, any other branch other than main and alpha will create pre release version like 4.11.0-pre.1

The condition logic may not handle all workflow_dispatch scenarios correctly. When workflow_dispatch is triggered without specifying the prerelease input (or when it's set to 'false'), and the workflow is run from the main branch, none of the release steps will execute because:

1. Line 40's condition prevents standard releases from non-main branches
2. Line 46's condition only runs when prerelease is 'true'
3. Line 52's condition only runs on push events to main

If a user manually triggers the workflow from the main branch with prerelease='false', no release will occur. Consider adding a condition to handle this case:

- name: Manual standard release
  if: github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && github.event.inputs.prerelease == 'false' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
  run: npm run release
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CI_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Suggested change

	GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CI_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
	GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CI_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
	- name: Manual standard release
	if: github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && github.event.inputs.prerelease == 'false' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
	run: npm run release
	env:
	GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CI_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The wildcard branch pattern { name: '*', prerelease: 'pre' } will match all branches, including 'main'. This means semantic-release will attempt to create pre-releases even from the main branch, which conflicts with the intent of having main produce standard releases.

Consider using a more specific pattern that excludes main:

branches: [
    'main',
    { name: '+([0-9])?(.{+([0-9]),x}).x', prerelease: 'pre' },
    { name: 'feature/*', prerelease: 'pre' },
    { name: 'fix/*', prerelease: 'pre' }
]

Or use a negative pattern to exclude main:

branches: [
    'main',
    { name: '!(main)', prerelease: 'pre' }
]

Suggested change

	{ name: '*', prerelease: 'pre' }
	{ name: '!(main)', prerelease: 'pre' }
