Problem

There is an orphaned tag v0.4.2 (commit 28aff54) from a release workflow run on 2026-03-09. The version jumped incorrectly from 0.2.x to 0.4.2. No corresponding GitHub release exists — the workflow likely failed partway through.

Current state on main: v0.2.24 (with a successful release).

Impact

  • The stale tag could confuse any automation that determines latest version from tags
  • git describe or tag-based version detection would return v0.4.2 instead of v0.2.24

Fix

Delete the orphaned tag:

git push origin :refs/tags/v0.4.2

Verify v0.2.24 remains the latest tag matching a release.
