Ensure GitHub release tags are created from the checked out channel ref and fail
early if an existing tag points to a different commit. This keeps Source code
archives aligned with built artifacts and prevents mixed-release snapshots.
* ci(release): sync Cargo/tauri versions after npm version on promote
Keep bundle artifact names aligned with package.json by updating
src-tauri/Cargo.toml and tauri.conf.json when promoting channel branches.

* ci(release): sync Cargo/tauri in post-release dev bump PR
Run the same package.json→Tauri sync after bumping main to the next -dev
version so local builds match auto-generated PR contents.
An empty VERSION produced the invalid GitHub tag "app-v" and broke
update-manifest downloads (release tag mismatch).
Validate semver prefix, write package version via heredoc to GITHUB_OUTPUT,
and refuse to compute tag app-v.

* ci(release): split channel pipelines and automate version transitions
Introduce dedicated next/release orchestration workflows backed by a reusable publish pipeline with RC/final package version updates and post-release main dev bump PRs. Add a strict release process SOP with RC freeze, hotfix override, and mandatory backport rules.
* ci(release): gate main-to-next promotion on green CI
Add a dedicated workflow that validates main branch checks/statuses and block the promote-main-to-next flow unless main is green. Update the release SOP to reflect the enforced pre-promotion validation.
* ci(release): fix channel promotion edge cases and policy gaps
Switch channel promotions to reset-based snapshots with force-with-lease pushes, stop auto-merging channel nix-refresh PRs, and guard main dev bump against version downgrades. Add RC changelog fallback, require AUR release updates in SOP, and extend npmDepsHash sync to main/next/release pushes.
* docs(release): clarify backport and nix refresh survivability rules
Require RC fix backports to reach main before the next main-to-next promotion, and document that channel-local nix refresh PRs are advisory unless equivalent changes are merged into main.
