Summary

Third in a chain of fixes after #49 and #50. With ownership and quoting resolved, the next run (24199871832) got all the way to `makepkg` and failed with:

```
/pkg/PKGBUILD: line 34: cargo: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
```

Root cause

The publish job's container only installs `binutils git sudo` because its only purpose is to regenerate `.SRCINFO`. But `makepkg -od` still runs `prepare()`, which invokes `cargo`. The sibling `validate` job sidesteps this with `--noprepare` (and installs `rust` anyway).

Fix

Add `--noprepare` to the metadata-generation invocation. In makepkg's pipeline, `pkgver()` runs before `prepare()`, so `.SRCINFO` still captures the computed version — and we avoid dragging a ~100 MB rust toolchain into a container that only needs to parse PKGBUILD metadata.

Test plan

Merge and confirm `Publish to AUR` reaches `git push origin master` successfully.
Confirm the published `.SRCINFO` on the AUR repo has a correctly computed `pkgver`.
