Moves the weekly release schedule from 0 9 * * 1 to 17 9 * * 1 (Mondays 09:17 UTC).

GitHub starts scheduled workflows on a best-effort basis, and the top of the hour is its busiest slot. At 09:00:

2026-09-07: the scheduled run started at 14:54 UTC, almost six hours late.
2026-09-14: no scheduled run had been created by 13:24 UTC, so the release was cut by hand (run 34849712384, v2026.9.13-pr344).

An odd minute doesn't guarantee GitHub starts on time, but it takes the job out of the busiest slot. The workflow comment now explains the choice and how to recover a missed week by hand. A late scheduled run after a manual one still does nothing, because the tag already exists.

Only the schedule and its comment change. The release and publish steps are untouched.
