publish-release

To automate a GitHub release deployment safely, you can use a workflow that enforces main-branch checks, validates the version format, and prompts for user confirmation before publishing. This ensures the release step is deterministic and irreversible.

Enforcing version validation before publishing a GitHub release requires checking the version argument against a strict vX.Y.Z format. This prevents invalid tags from being pushed and ensures release notes are verified prior to execution.
