# The version-bump commit + tag are pushed with a GitHub App installation
# token (not GITHUB_TOKEN): main's branch protection blocks direct pushes,
# and only the release app has a ruleset bypass. GITHUB_TOKEN is only used
# for the checkout's read access.
# `main` has no branch protection, so the version-bump commit + tag are
# pushed directly with the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN (contents: write) -- no
# GitHub App / ruleset bypass is required. If branch protection is added
# later, either add a GITHUB_TOKEN bypass or restore an app-token step.
