Subject: [PATCH] chore(ci): point nightly e2e at dev branch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Scheduled runs were using github.ref_name, which equals the default branch
(main) — so the nightly was testing main. Hardcode GIT_BRANCH=dev so the
build-install-artifacts.sh + tofu provisioning target dev's HEAD instead.

GitHub always loads scheduled-workflow files from the default branch, so
this change must stay in sync on main for the schedule to use it.
