Auto-create draft releases on
pubState=pubmergesWhenever a merge to main results in
pubState=pub, the tooling now auto-creates a draft GitHub release taggedYYYMMDD-{pubStage}from the doc'spubDateTime+pubStage. Editor reviews and publishes the draft, which fires the existing release-published flow (zip upload + template-repo dispatch) unchanged.The redline base is now derived from git tags rather than a hand-maintained
.smpte-build.json. WhenpubStage=PUB, against the most recent prior-pubtag (edition-to-edition); otherwise against the most recent prior dated tag of any stage (iterative draft review)..smpte-build.jsonkept as an optional override scaffold (NULLby default) so legacy docs and archival rebuilds still work.Includes a
[force-release]commit-message escape hatch for same-day workflow events (e.g. PCD opening from Pre-FCD on the same pubDateTime+pubStage) — appends -2/-3/... to the tag.Annex
sec-document-github-releasesrewritten to describe the new automated flow. To be at least partially moved to new HTML Workflow AG later.Closes #395, as it would longer apply in this workflow.
