ci: release job — test before publish, pin bash, fix diagnostic

- Run cargo test before the build so a tag never publishes untested code.
- Pin shell: bash on the scripted steps; the runner defaults to dash,
  which rejected `set -o pipefail` and failed run 22's package step.
- Swap `file` (absent in the slim image) for `ls -l`.
