-# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-# release.yml — build all 5 patched-Firefox targets at $0 and publish them as
-# DRAFT GitHub Release assets, named per the wrapper contract (constants.ARCHIVE_NAME).
-# DRAFT on purpose: a human runs the realness gate and only THEN un-drafts + bumps
-# BINARY_VERSION. Nothing auto-ships (issue #14 lesson).
-#
-# PACKAGING (issue #14: dangling symlinks broke 265 downloads — never again):
-#   Linux → cp -aL (dereference ALL symlinks into real files) + rm dev tools +
-#           strip + sanitize + tar at ROOT, then validate_release.py as a HARD
-#           in-pipeline gate (the exact battle-tested script from the source repo).
-#   Win   → mach package; zip the CONTENTS of dist/firefox (clean tree, NOT
-#           dist/bin) so firefox.exe sits at the zip ROOT.
-#   macOS → mach package; ad-hoc codesign the .app; PRESERVE its internal relative
-#           symlinks (a .app legitimately has them — cp -aL would break it); verify
-#           every symlink is relative+internal; tar the bundle. --version self-gate.
-#
-# DRIVE GATE (the firefox-8 catcher): after build, every binary is DRIVEN by
-# Playwright on its native runner (launch via juggler + real page + JS roundtrip,
-# headless, no screenshot → GPU-free, zero proxy). A juggler-less binary renders
-# a screenshot fine but is undrivable — only an actual drive catches that. The
-# proxy realness gate (fppro/webrtc) stays LOCAL — it needs secrets.
-#
-# Trigger: push a tag `firefox-N`, or run manually.  Hybrid runners, all free.

-# republish.yml — re-gate + publish an EXISTING build's artifacts WITHOUT rebuilding.
-#
-# When a release run's 5 builds all SUCCEEDED but the publish was blocked by a
-# GATE/TEST bug (not a binary defect), rebuilding all five targets (hours) just to
-# re-run a few-minute test is wasteful. This workflow downloads the binary artifacts
-# from a prior `release` run, re-runs the (now-fixed) drive gate + cloak/WebGL guards
-# against those exact byte-identical binaries on their native runners, and — only if
-# green — publishes the DRAFT release. Same publish logic as release.yml (draft, notes,
-# checksums, source-commit) so the human still runs the realness gate before un-drafting.
-#
-# Inputs:
-#   build_run_id : the `release` run whose `asset-*` + `source-commit` artifacts to reuse
-#                  (must be within the 7-day artifact retention window).
-#   release_tag  : tag to publish the draft under (e.g. firefox-11).

-# verify-assets.yml — re-runnable DRIVE GATE for an EXISTING release's assets.
-#
-# release.yml drive-gates every binary it builds. This does the same drive test
-# WITHOUT rebuilding: it downloads a release's already-published assets (works on
-# DRAFT releases too via GITHUB_TOKEN) and drives each one on its native runner.
-#
-# Use it to:
-#   • drive-test a release that was built before the in-pipeline gate existed
-#     (e.g. firefox-9, built on the old release.yml), or
-#   • re-verify any shipped release on demand (regression check).
-#
-# Same single-source-of-truth drive logic as release.yml: scripts/ci_drive_gate.py.
-# Headless, no screenshot → GPU-free. Zero proxy / zero secrets.
