Determine the previous release tag from `gh release list` — the **highest semver** among published releases that are ancestors of the target commit, not the most recently published by date.

The lookup is branch-aware: from a `release/{MAJOR}.x` branch, restrict candidates to tags matching `v{MAJOR}.*`; from `main`, there is no MAJOR filter.

### Branch context
The "previous release" lookup is constrained to tags matching `v{MAJOR}.*` when assessing from a `release/{MAJOR}.x` servicing branch. On `main`, the lookup is unconstrained (most recent published release globally).
The "previous release" lookup selects the highest semver among published releases that are ancestors of the target commit, constrained to tags matching `v{MAJOR}.*` when assessing from a `release/{MAJOR}.x` servicing branch. On `main`, there is no MAJOR filter. It is not a date-ordered lookup; see [release-branches.md](../../shared-resources/release-branches.md#previous-release-tag-lookup).
The MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH classification criteria above are unchanged regardless of branch.
