The dry-run gate was at the bottom of the script, after version bump,
lockfile update, CHANGELOG sync, build, and the chore(release) commit
had already run — so a dry-run left the local repo with a stray version
commit that had to be reset. Move the gate to right after the version
selection so dry-run shows the full preview (changesets, proposed
version, override prompt) and exits before mutating anything. Drop the
now-dead late check and the redundant DRY_RUN short-circuit in confirm().
