- Decouple draft-promotion.yml from automated Tests workflow_run triggers,
making promotion draft creation manual via workflow_dispatch to prevent
GitHub from auto-chaining active experimental feature PRs into a stack
targeting main.
- Enforce and document the mandatory Promotion Merge Policy across
reconcile_promotion_pr.py, validate_release_candidate.py, and draft-promotion.yml
step summary: promotions must use a merge commit (--no-ff) or fast-forward,
never squash-merge into main, preserving conventional commit history and
unbroken git ancestry.
- Unhide refactor commits in release-please-config.json so architectural
refactorings are tracked under Changed in CHANGELOG.md.
- Update unit tests in test_reconcile_promotion_pr.py and
test_validate_release_candidate.py for the new policy invariants.
