The release PR is just a version bump + checksum update. Enable
auto-merge with squash and delete the release branch after merge
to prevent branch accumulation.
The release workflow pushed directly to main which fails on repos
with branch protection enabled. This broke the polaris plugin v0.7.0
release.
Changes:
- Create release/vX.Y.Z branch instead of committing to main
- Push to the release branch + tags
- Create a PR to merge the version bump back to main
- Add pull-requests: write permission
