name: Stable release
# Tags the newest green commit on main as v<VERSION>, publishes the GitHub
# Release, and fast-forwards refs/heads/stable to it (docs/releases.md). Team
# installs follow stable, so this is the only thing that moves them. Runs
# every day at 14:00 UTC as the daily check (scripts/release-cadence.ts, R74):
# it cuts when a gated change stable lacks carries an important: changelog
# fragment and stable is 24 hours old, when stable is 7 days old and main has
# gated changes, or on Monday and Thursday past the 72-hour floor; otherwise it
# does nothing and says why (the file keeps its weekly-release.yml name so its
# run history and every `gh workflow run` reference stay intact). A hand-run
# cut moves stable at most once per 72 hours: a cut inside
# that floor is refused with REFUSED_FLOOR and NEXT_ALLOWED; a scheduled run
# gets 3 hours of grace for cron start jitter, a hand-run cut none. Two
# exceptions pass it, one per cut and each with a ref: a security cut (the
# security input, naming a GHSA, CVE or #<n> the script ties to the released
# commits) and a regression cut (the regression input, naming a
# regression-labelled #<n> and the earlier stable release v<X> the behavior
# worked in). Run it by hand with a
# ref for a hotfix, or with dry_run to see the plan and change nothing. A pull request that touches
# the release tooling runs the dry run against main with a read-only token,
# which is the only pre-merge exercise of the real workflow. The candidate's
# gate must already be green (free-tests and main-backstop check runs
# succeeded, every check run finished and none red, no active freeze): this
# workflow never runs tests or paid evals. Dispatch it from main: the cut job
# runs only there, with main's tooling.

    # scheduled grace covers a late start the day before.
