GitHub Actions Release Pipeline

Pattern

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
    tags: ['v*']
  pull_request:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  check:        # PR + main — tests
  release-win:  # tags only — publish + installer
  publish:      # upload GitHub Release assets

Critical rules

Workflow file is taken from the tag commit. Fixing main does not heal old tags.
Install tools from stable URLs (GitHub releases), not flaky marketing download.php pages.
Fail on missing artifacts (if-no-files-found: error).
SHA256 only over files, not directories.
permissions: contents: write only on release jobs that need it.

Version from tag

echo "version=${GITHUB_REF_NAME#v}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

Acceptance

PR runs tests only
Tag vX.Y.Z produces installers + Release
Re-run after fixing main requires retag or new tag
