In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 74-81: The draft release step using softprops/action-gh-release@v2
currently creates tag v${{ steps.version.outputs.version }} against whatever
commit is checked out (main), which can be the pre-bump commit; fix by ensuring
the release action points at the bumped commit: set the action's
commit-ish/target to the commit/sha produced by the earlier bump/pr-head step
(the step that created the PR branch/head used in Lines 60-73) or to the
checkout step that contains the bumped files (e.g., reference that step's output
sha instead of the default), or alternatively move the Create draft GitHub
release step to a post-merge path so the tag is created after the bumped version
is merged (so .github/workflows/publish.yml will see matching
package.json.version).
- Line 75: The workflow currently references the mutable tag "uses:
softprops/action-gh-release@v2"; change this to a fixed commit SHA for
supply-chain safety by replacing that reference with "uses:
softprops/action-gh-release@<full-commit-sha>" where <full-commit-sha> is the
40-character commit hash from the softprops/action-gh-release repository (obtain
the SHA from the repo's GitHub commit history or the tag's commit), ensuring the
workflow points to an immutable commit instead of the mutable `@v2` tag.
