ci: add release workflow to promote test → main#106
Merged
Conversation
Port gittensor's Release workflow. main advances only by fast-forward to test (manual workflow_dispatch), keeping main and test on identical commits — no merge/squash/rebase, so the two branches never diverge. Replaces the "Promote test -> main" PR flow, which rewrote commits and caused main and test to drift apart. Requires a RELEASE_TOKEN repo secret (a PAT with contents+workflows write that can push to main).
