release.yml fired on every push to main, so the trigger was "a PR was merged" and nothing else decided. That is a version per unit of *work* rather than per *shipment*: eight releases in twenty-two hours, v0.0.1 through v0.3.1, for one session -- each fanning out to four publishers on a runner with capacity 1, so roughly forty packaging jobs shipped three issues while ordinary PR CI queued behind them. pacman, Homebrew and Obtainium see every one. The push trigger is gone and workflow_dispatch, which was already there and already worked, is the whole mechanism. Nothing else had to change to batch releases, because semantic-release already reads every commit since the last tag: five fixes and two feats become one minor release with all seven in the notes. Release frequency was only ever how often this file fired. This is the rule index-artifact.yml states and is the other instance of: a job that mutates state which cannot be rebuilt in ten minutes is triggered deliberately, not by a push. A release here is a tag, a Gitea release, an Arch package, a Homebrew formula, a signed APK and desktop assets -- and an Android version going backwards costs the user their library. `dry_run` is what makes a manual trigger usable: the point of pulling a lever by hand is being able to look first, so the input runs semantic-release --dry-run -- the version and the notes, no tag, no release, no publishers. Anything but the literal string "true" releases for real, because a typo in a dispatch box must not silently turn a shipment into a green no-op. Two alternatives were considered and rejected, both recorded on the issue. A `beta` integration branch relocates the trigger rather than removing one: it needs a second protected branch carrying the same required checks, and it *adds* a full check + e2e run per batch on the very runner whose queue is the complaint. A schedule batches without anyone having to remember, but puts the decision back on a timer, which is the thing being removed. Closes #115
