Release policy
Published tags and release assets are immutable.
A tag that has been published must never be moved, reused, deleted and recreated, or supplied with replacement assets under the same names. If a published build or installer is wrong, preserve the existing release and publish a new, higher version tag containing the correction.
.github/workflows/linux-release.yml is the sole GitHub Release publisher. On a version tag, it builds the Linux and Windows packages from the tagged commit, generates the signed manifest, and publishes the complete release asset set. .github/workflows/windows-release.yml is manual-only and may package and verify a Windows installer as a workflow artifact, but it never publishes or replaces GitHub Release assets. The tracked production source for the convenience installer is deploy/smm-setup.sh; the Linux release workflow copies that exact file to the release artifact set, records its SHA-256 in the signed manifest, and publishes its standalone checksum. The default release in that source must match the tag being produced.
For v0.1.0-alpha.9, this makes smm-setup.sh, smm-setup.sh.sha256, the bootstrap script, platform archives, SBOMs, and the signed manifest reproducible from the tagged tree. The installer fetches only same-tag assets and verifies the bootstrap checksum before execution. Corrections after publication require another tag; the v0.1.0-alpha.9 tag and assets remain unchanged.
