ci: fix release notes bot token override and remove redundant jq install

Kai Armstrongrequested to merge
karmstrong/fix-release-notes-bot-token into main

Summary

  • Fix GITLAB_TOKEN not being overridden in the notify-issues-on-release job: project-level CI/CD variables take precedence over variables: in .gitlab-ci.yml, so the test bot token was always winning. Setting it inline in the script: step bypasses this.
  • Remove redundant apk add --no-cache jq from before_script — jq is already included in the registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli Docker image.

Test plan

  • Verify the next release tag triggers notify-issues-on-release and comments are posted by the release bot account, not glab-test-bot
