Releases happen in a separate repository, the changes on the main
repository appear as regular PRs to the vNN branches. So I do not think
there is any specific trigger to use unless you are also happy
rebuilding when backports happen (might be good, but YMMV).

We do tag the release commit with a SQUID_* tag some time shortly after
the release has actually bundled. So you could do a check for those
every so often. Releases are intended to take place first weekend of
each month - though as with this month there can be some delays caused
by external situations.
