Preserve context updates made during publishing.

If update_task_context or a webhook records an update during the push, the final record_context can overwrite it with the earlier copy. The publish slot does not protect those writers. Apply the publication fields to the stored context under one lock.

Update the publish flow that uses `context_for` and `record_context` so
publication fields are applied to the latest stored context while holding the
contexts lock. Preserve any concurrent context updates, avoid writing back the
earlier copied context, and persist the updated state after releasing the lock.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Reject local Git transports when local repositories are disabled.

A file:// repo_url can pass check_repo_source, then clone and push to a local repository. Relative paths can also resolve differently in the publish scratch directory.

Reject local transports independently of whether the path exists. Preserve remote URLs and the explicit local-repository opt-in.

Review comment at @crates/code-server/src/lib.rs around lines 4669 - 4680:
Update check_repo_source to reject Git local transports, including file:// URLs
and filesystem paths, whenever allow_local_repos is false, regardless of whether
the path currently exists or where it resolves. Preserve the explicit opt-in

Reject non-publishable branches before starting a publishing task.

A branch such as feature/fix passes creation validation, but publish::validate_branch refuses it. A local Docker task that produces changes can therefore run and then fail to publish. Preserve branch use by tasks that do not publish.
