    # not drop this to the bare default — either restores the bug. The accepted
    # cost and the evidence are in README's Development section.

# group is what let this Gitea cancel two of daniel/gitdan's merge runs
# outright while `cancel-in-progress` was gated away from `push` entirely —
# see the long note in that repo's ci.yaml. Observed on 1.26.0; the instance
# is 1.27.2 now and whether it persists is unverified, which is why every
# commit gets its own group instead of trusting the flag.

    # cost the shared runner nothing until the PR is un-WIP'd. The first is
    # what keeps that from also skipping pushes to `main` — a `push` event has
    # no `pull_request` context, so `github.event.pull_request.draft` is empty
    # there and the negation alone would be unreliable. Never drop it.

    # Deliberately no `container.volumes:` entry, unlike every repo that
    # CONSUMES this action. The suites below build throwaway workspaces under
    # `mktemp -d` and want a cold target dir every time — a persistent cache
    # would make "did this run rebuild?" unanswerable, which is the question
    # restore-mtimes-selftest.sh exists to ask. So this job takes no share of
    # the shared CI cache disk budget.

      # `hardlink-clone-selftest.sh` and `restore-mtimes-selftest.sh` drive a
      # real Cargo against a real scratch workspace — they are the only things
      # here that verify the hardlink-aliasing and mtime-freshness behaviour
      # against the compiler rather than against a fixture, and selftest.sh's
      # own header says `--fast` is for iterating, not for signing off a
      # change. So CI installs a toolchain and runs the full set.
      #
      # The scratch workspaces use path dependencies only, so nothing here
      # reaches crates.io.
      # Nightly first, stable second, so stable ends up the default and
      # nightly is only reachable through an explicit `+nightly`.
      #
      # `hardlink-clone-selftest.sh`'s last scenario needs a Cargo that
      # resolves freshness by CONTENT — the mode where the dep-info file
      # carries per-source checksums, which is the mutation that turns a
      # hardlink clone into silent stale-artifact reuse rather than a slow
      # build. This step is what supplies it, and as of 2026-08-26 it does:
      # the scenario ran and passed against 1.100.0-nightly.
      #
      # It briefly did not. Cargo PR #17382 (2026-08-22) demoted
      # `-Z checksum-freshness` to a gate and gave `build.fingerprint` the
      # choice, defaulting to `mtime`, so the suite — which set only the gate —
      # measured a genuine INACTIVE and skipped its strongest scenario. That
      # read as "upstream withdrew content freshness" and was written up here
      # as this step buying nothing. It was a moved switch, not a withdrawal;
      # the suite now exports both and the coverage is back. See
      # daniel/gitdan#62 for the investigation.

    # The workflow-level group above is keyed per-commit (github.sha) so
    # unrelated commits' CI never blocks each other -- which also means two
    # merges landing close together can run two concurrent release-tag jobs.
    # A job-level `concurrency:` is a second, independent group scoped to
    # this job alone -- it does not replace the workflow-level one, it adds
    # to it (confirmed by reading gitea's source at the v1.27.2 tag this

    # cancelled here costs nothing beyond its own wasted run -- it was never
    # going to push anyone else's commit either. This group's only job is to

      # about whether `origin/main` has since moved on to a merge whose own
      # selftest hasn't finished, is still queued, or is red. Two things
      # follow, checked in this order:
      #
      # 1. If `origin/main`'s live tip (re-fetched here, not trusted from the
      #    checkout above, which can be minutes stale behind this job's own
      #    selftest) is no longer THIS run's own `github.sha`, some other
      #    merge has landed since. Pushing it would release a commit this run
      #    never gated -- so this run defers instead, unconditionally. The
      #    commit that IS the live tip has its own run, and that run's own
      #    guard is what releases it once ITS turn to push comes -- possibly
      #    only once merges pause for a moment, so v1 can land one merge
      #    later than the newest one in a busy stretch. It never lands on a
      #    commit that wasn't gated, and it always catches up once things go
      #    quiet, because every future merge re-attempts the same check
      #    against whatever is current by then.
      # 2. Only once (1) confirms this IS the live tip does it matter whether
      #    v1 already covers it -- a duplicate run, or a manual push already
      #    having done this. `--is-ancestor` treats a commit as its own
      #    ancestor, so "already at" and "already ahead" are one case. A v1
      #    that doesn't exist yet, or shares no history with this commit,
      #    falls through to the push -- both checks are only ever a reason to
      #    skip, never a reason to fail.
