# Manually-triggered stable release. Pick a bump (patch/minor/major) —
# the next vX.Y.Z tag is computed from the latest stable tag. The `notes`
# input is used verbatim as the release body and is also attached to the
# release as `CHANGELOG.md`. Nothing is committed back to the repo.
# release as `CHANGELOG.md`. An ephemeral release commit (with the built
# ui/dist/ force-added past .gitignore) is created on a detached HEAD and
# the new tag points to *that* commit, so `go install ...@vX.Y.Z` resolves
# a tree containing the embedded UI assets. Main itself is never modified
# — only the tag is pushed to origin.
