-# RC Publish (Unity + CLI) for testing
-#
-# One dispatch that cuts a CLI release candidate AND the matching Unity SDK
-# release candidate, so testers receive the most accurate representation of an
-# upcoming release without juggling two workflows by hand.
-#
-# What it does, in order:
-#   1. Builds and publishes the CLI nuget packages + CLI changelog for the CLI
-#      version you enter.
-#   2. Overwrites nugetPackageVersion in versions-default.json *at build time*
-#      (the same jq step release.yml uses in production). Nothing is committed
-#      and main's committed value is left untouched -- you no longer hand-edit
-#      that deep file per RC.
-#   3. Runs the real game-ci Unity editor pack and publishes the Unity SDK UPM
-#      packages + Unity SDK changelog for the Unity version you enter.
-#
-# CLI and the Unity SDK version independently, so both version numbers are
-# separate inputs. releaseType is fixed to "rc" -- this workflow only cuts RCs.
-#
-# A fail-fast changelog guard runs *before* the long build: if the top entry of
-# either changelog does not match the version being cut, the run stops before
-# anything is published or built. ~Claude
