+# Produce a distributable `hey-woo.zip` and publish it as a GitHub Release.

+# Trigger: manual workflow_dispatch only — tag pushes do NOT trigger this
+# workflow; the tag + Release are CREATED by the workflow, not consumed by it.
+# This makes the release a deliberate UI action that goes through the full
+# build + validation path.
+#
+# Prerequisites (enforced at runtime, workflow fails fast if not met):
+#   - The `version` input must match the `Version:` header in hey-woo.php.
+#     Bump the header on a PR and merge it first, then dispatch this workflow
+#     with the matching version.
+#   - The tag `v<version>` must not already exist on the remote.
