Bug

The extension-publish-prerelease.yml workflow still validates versions using the old -rc.N suffix convention. After merging the even/odd versioning hardening in PR #816, this workflow was missed, causing pre-release publish to fail with:

Pre-release version 3.1.44 must contain an -rc.N suffix (e.g., 3.1.0-rc.5)

Expected Behavior

The pre-release publish workflow should accept versions with odd minor numbers (e.g., 3.1.44) per the even/odd convention adopted in #815.

Fix

Update extension-publish-prerelease.yml to:

• Accept MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format (no -rc.N suffix)
• Reject even minor versions (stable channel)
• Accept odd minor versions (pre-release channel)
