Subject: [PATCH] ci: include flashable .img.xz on every release, dev included
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Repo is public → unlimited Actions minutes, so the 30-60 min pi-gen
bake doesn't have a cost gate. Master pushes now produce the full
asset set (binaries + image), same as tag releases.
