+name: Release Tag
+
+# Tags a release when a `dev-v*` branch is merged to main, and pushes the tag. Delegates
+# to the reusable workflow in fleetbase/fleetbase. Requires org secret _GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN
+# (inherited); no-ops with a warning until it is set.
+#
+# It pushes the tag and nothing else — create-release.yml and the publish jobs in this
+# repository already chain off `push: tags: v*`.
+#
+# The version is never retyped: it comes from the branch name, and the tag is refused
+# unless the files below and RELEASE.md already agree with it. This repository is
+# an ember addon plus a server, so it carries composer.json, package.json and extension.json.
+#
+# RELEASE.md is required, and its first line must name the version being released. That
+# check is the only thing that can tell notes written for this release from the previous
+# release's notes nobody replaced.
+#
+# Deliberately unpinned, like postman.yml — it tracks the reusable workflow on main, so
+# there is no ref here to remember to bump.
+#
+# workflow_dispatch is the recovery path. Use it when a release failed validation and the
+# fix landed on main after the merge: re-running the merge event would check out the
+# merge commit and never see that fix.

+Describe what changed in this release. The first line above must name the version
