Subject: [PATCH] feat: ability to run npm release from branch (#10120)

This is to be able to release 7.0.0 from the branch 7.0, due to this
failed job
https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/actions/runs/15586992840/job/43895801674

Failure was because package.json already had 7.0.0 and I don't want to
use --force
