The repository had no automation at all: every release was packaged and
published by hand, and nothing ran tests on a pull request.
- ci.yml runs gofmt, go vet and go test on Linux and macOS, and cross-builds
all five release targets. macOS is a stated release target but was never
actually exercised, only cross-compiled.
- release.yml publishes on a v* tag. It gates on `make release-check` so a red
suite cannot ship, and builds through release.sh rather than duplicating the
packaging rules, so CI archives stay byte-identical to local ones. A
hand-written docs/releases/<tag>.md becomes the release body when present,
otherwise notes are generated from history.
- nightly.yml rebuilds the tip of main on every push and replaces a rolling
`nightly` prerelease. Prerelease is deliberate: it keeps GitHub's `Latest`
badge on the newest real release rather than on an untested build.
The rolling tag is why version discovery was pinned to v* in the previous
commit; nightly.yml depends on that filter already being in place.
