fix(ci): Update mock publishing test to handle git push gracefully

- Test now validates publishing logic up to git push step
- Expects git push to fail without credentials (this is normal for CI)
- Checks for expected log messages to confirm workflow succeeded
- Removes dependency on deprecated pages-repo input
