-# Checks for releasable conventional commits since the last tag. If found:
-#   1. Version bump + changelog generation
-#   2. Tag + push + GitHub Release creation
-#   3. WordPress release.package builds the vendor-bundled ZIP
-#   4. WordPress release.publish uploads the ZIP to the Release and
-#      mirrors the tree to the release-latest branch (Playground CORS path)
+# Triggers on push to main (immediate release) and manual dispatch. The whole

+# steps — is owned by the reusable Homeboy Action release workflow.

 # No human input needed — version is computed from commit types:
 #   fix: → patch, feat: → minor, BREAKING CHANGE → major
