Subject: [PATCH] chore: Handle build number generation on forks (#1829)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary
- guard build number generation to the main repository and allow
failures without stopping the workflow
- add a fallback build number derived from the GitHub run number when
the tag-based number cannot be created

## Testing
- not run (workflow-only change)
