Create Release Tag

Objective

Create and optionally publish one exact release tag whose name, tag object, target commit, message, signature, and remote state are verified.

Use When

• Creating a new non-colliding annotated release tag.
• Creating a signed release tag required by trusted policy.
• Pushing exactly one release tag after confirmation.
• Verifying a local or remote release tag's object and target.

Route Elsewhere

• Route version, changelog, and release-note edits to prepare-release.
• Route replacement or deletion of an existing local/shared tag to rewrite-history.
• Hosted release publication, artifact upload, and deployment are outside this package.
