[CI] Additional release checks

[testableapple]

🎯 Goal

Secure releases by adding more checks.

📝 Summary

• Run integration test before every release
• Check for unsafe flags in Package.swift

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores

  • Enhanced release workflow with deeper checkout, CI caching and an automated integration-test trigger to speed and stabilize builds.
  • Added an extra validation step in the release build to improve safety and reliability.
  • Bumped a Fastlane plugin dependency to a newer version.

• Tests

  • Integration tests are now triggered automatically as part of the release flow.

Walkthrough

Adds caching and an integration-test trigger to the release-start GitHub Actions workflow, bumps a fastlane plugin version, and inserts a check_unsafe_flags invocation into the Fastlane :release lane (placed after artifacts_changes and before match_me).

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflow \.github/workflows/release-start.yml``	Adds checkout step pinned to v4.1.1 with fetch-depth: 0, adds Ruby and Xcode cache actions, and adds an Integration Test step that runs gh workflow run test.yml --repo GetStream/apple-internal-testing-pipeline using GITHUB_TOKEN; existing Create Release PR step preserved.
Fastlane: Fastfile change \fastlane/Fastfile``	Inserts a call to check_unsafe_flags in the :release lane immediately after the artifacts_changes block and before match_me.
Fastlane: Pluginfile change \fastlane/Pluginfile``	Bumps fastlane-plugin-stream_actions from 0.3.101 to 0.3.102.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Inspect .github/workflows/release-start.yml for correct checkout inputs, cache action versions/keys, and the gh workflow run invocation and token usage.
• Verify fastlane/Fastfile that check_unsafe_flags is inserted at the intended point (after artifacts_changes, before match_me) and its arguments/path.
• Confirm fastlane/Pluginfile version bump aligns with any lockfile or dependency constraints.

Possibly related PRs

• [CI] Update Ruby gems #3760 — also bumps fastlane-plugin-stream_actions; related dependency change.
• [CI] Bump fastlane plugin version to avoid PR comments when there are no size changes #3842 — recent fastlane-plugin-stream_actions bump (adjacent plugin upgrade).

Poem

"I hopped through YAML, swift and spry,
Cached my gems and watched tests fly,
Checked flags that whispered 'unsafe' near,
Then nudged the release PR clear.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The PR title '[CI] Additional release checks' is partially related to the changeset but does not capture the main objectives. The PR objectives specifically highlight running integration tests before release and checking for unsafe flags, but the title uses vague language ('Additional release checks') that doesn't convey these specific improvements.	Consider using a more specific title like '[CI] Run integration tests and check unsafe flags before release' to clearly communicate the primary changes and objectives.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

21-27: LGTM! Caching steps will improve workflow performance.

Adding Ruby and Xcode caching along with proper git history (fetch-depth: 0) are good preparatory steps for the release workflow.
