ci(release): CI-native verified release flow - #40
Merged
Conversation
Rework the reusable workflow to cut the release itself instead of running the caller's local trigger_release.sh (which is Keychain/admin-local and produced an Unverified bump commit in CI). Now: push the signed tag with the PAT (admin-bypasses the tag ruleset, triggers release.yml); create the version-bump commit via the GitHub Contents API so GitHub signs it (Verified -> passes the required-signatures branch ruleset); open the bump PR; approve it as github-actions[bot] (distinct identity, counts as the required review); enable squash auto-merge. Needs the caller to grant pull-requests: write.
