 Use `fix:` for a patch, `feat:` for a minor release, and `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer for a major release. Commits such as `docs:`, `test:`, and `chore:` do not release a package. Before enabling the automation, publish and tag the existing `v0.9.1` once as its baseline.
 
 The release workflow uses the existing global `gitea_package_token`, `gitea_registry_username`, `gitea_release_token`, `mattermost_bot_access_token`, `mattermost_tests_channel_id`, `mattermost_pushes_channel_id`, and `mattermost_post_api_url` secrets.

+The repository includes a guarded, one-time manual bootstrap workflow for `v0.9.1`; remove it after that initial package version has been published.
