Another update. Most components are now building and publishing
successfully to SVN staging.

The remaining blocker is the
`serverless-logic-web-tools-swf-builder-image`, which grew from ~900MB
(10.1.0) to ~1.1GB, exceeding the ASF SVN 1GB file size limit. I've opened
INFRA-27763 [1] and reached out to the ASF Infra team on Slack. They're
already helping with the limit increase.

In the meantime, I've triggered another build with the remaining ~15
components while we wait for the limit to be raised.
