Fix package publishing skipped on tagged builds

[HowardvanRooijen]

Problem

The endjin CI pipeline's publish phase is being skipped on tagged builds, so packages are not published. The newest Ais.Net.Models on NuGet is 0.3.1 — 0.3.2 and 1.0.0 were both tagged but never published.

Root cause (in the @main shared pipeline):

# publish
needs: [compile, test, package, postCompile]
if: inputs.forcePublish || startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')   # true on a tag

# postCompile
if: inputs.postCompilePhaseTasks != ''                            # unset here → SKIPPED

publish needs postCompile; postCompile only runs when postCompilePhaseTasks is set. With it unset, postCompile is skipped, and because publish's if doesn't use always(), GitHub cascades the skip — publish is skipped even though the tag condition is true.

Fix

Point postCompilePhaseTasks at a no-op InvokeBuild task (NoOp, added to .zf/config.ps1) so the post-compile phase runs and no longer blocks publish. The task does no work; the post-compile cache it emits is not consumed by any later phase.

Verifying

On this PR's build, the Post-Compile job should now run (previously skipped). Publish still won't run on the PR build itself (it's release-gated to tags), but with post-compile no longer skipped, a future tagged release will publish.

Follow-up (separate): 1.0.0 is already tagged but unpublished. After this merges, publishing 1.0.0 needs either a re-tag on a commit that includes this fix, a new patch release, or a one-off manual dotnet nuget push.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a GitHub Actions workflow dependency issue where the reusable pipeline’s publish job can be skipped on tagged builds because it needs: postCompile and postCompile was previously skipped when no post-compile tasks were configured.

Changes:

• Add a no-op InvokeBuild task (NoOp) to the ZeroFailed/InvokeBuild config so the post-compile phase has something to run.
• Configure the build workflow to pass postCompilePhaseTasks: 'NoOp' into the shared Endjin reusable pipeline, ensuring postCompile no longer blocks publish on tags.
• Document the rationale inline in both the build config and workflow file.

File	Description
.zf/config.ps1	Adds a NoOp InvokeBuild task to allow the post-compile phase to run without doing work.
.github/workflows/build.yml	Sets postCompilePhaseTasks for the shared pipeline so postCompile runs and won’t cascade-skip publish on tagged builds.
