 Owner Dogfood 安装包可以通过 `Build & Release` 的手动输入 `publish_candidate=true` 在 GitHub runner 构建并发布为 `dogfood-<产品版本>-<run number>` 预发行版。它仍依赖完整 CI、产物校验、秘密审计和 installed-app smoke；产物明确标注未签名、尚未通过全部 Public Release / 真人验收。默认不发布，正式 `v*` tag 的签名和 readiness 门槛保持不变。
 
+用户明确选择手动试用时，可以同时设置 `publish_candidate=true`、`owner_trial=true`。此路径仅把浏览器 UI smoke / repeatability 从安装包依赖降为已披露的未通过验收；核心测试、生产依赖与 RustSec、迁移、恢复、产物与秘密审计、installed-app smoke 仍必须通过。Release 标题与正文明确写为 Manual Owner Trial，保留失败证据，不表示 Public Release 或真人验收通过；默认关闭，普通候选和正式 tag 路径不变。
