# NOTE: this workflow has never run. Authored 2026-08-25 and not
# executable locally — the first real tag push is its first test.
# Expect to adjust the toolchain step if the pinned OCaml/dune version
# is not available on the runner image.

# Fires only on a version tag, so nothing is published by an ordinary
# push. `workflow_dispatch` is a DRY RUN: it builds, verifies and reports
# the glibc floor, but skips the tag guard (there is no tag) and skips
# publishing. Use it to rehearse before tagging anything.

# The ONE line that replaces `gh auth login`: it widens the automatic
# GITHUB_TOKEN so this job may write releases. No PAT, no secret to

  release:
    # DELIBERATE, not a default. The release binaries link glibc
    # dynamically, so the build host's glibc caps which symbol versions
    # they can import — and that cap becomes the minimum glibc every
    # user needs. Built on 24.04 (glibc 2.39) the floor is 2.39;
    # built here on 22.04 (2.35) it is 2.35, which is the difference
    # between excluding and including Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and
    # RHEL 9. Raise this image only with a reason, and update the
    # supported-systems list in docs/examples/site/install/view.wo in
    # the same change.
