# ── The qa gate: "is this production worth?" ────────────────────────────────
#
# dev -> qa -> main.
#
# `dev` is for committing often. ci.yml answers "is it green" in minutes with
# fmt, clippy and the unit suite, so a mistake surfaces while it is still cheap
# to fix. `qa` is the release-candidate branch, and THIS workflow is the claim
# that a commit is production worth: everything expensive that can run without
# physical media. `main` only ever receives a qa that went green here.
#
# Sibling repos are checked out at `qa`, NOT `dev`. A qa run that resolved its
# dependencies from dev tips would be validating a combination that is not the
# one being released, which is the exact failure this branch exists to prevent.
#
# What this gate CANNOT cover: `disc://` and real `iso://` need physical media,
# and no hosted runner has an optical drive or the image hoard. Those run on a
# self-hosted runner (see the media job at the end) and are the one leg that
# stays on hardware.

  # ── Name the candidate ────────────────────────────────────────────────
  #
  # Every push to `qa` is a release candidate, so every push gets a tag:
  # v<version>-rc<N>, N incrementing. That is the answer to "which build is on
  # qa right now, and is it the one I tested?" — a question that otherwise gets
  # answered from memory.
  #
  # This runs FIRST and does not depend on the gates, deliberately. A red
  # candidate needs a name more than a green one does: "rc3 failed
  # release-tests on windows" is a sentence you can act on; "qa is red" is not.
  # Red on qa is a working gate, not an incident — it is the branch saying this
  # is not production worth yet. Fix on dev, get dev green, push qa again.
  #
  # release.yml excludes v*-rc* so a candidate never publishes a release.
