tests directly instead of make test, preventing release-test.sh and dist.sh dist
from requiring Git metadata in the unpacked archive; keep the existing build and

Check untracked files before building release artifacts.
build runs before this recipe. git diff --quiet does not detect untracked files. An untracked Go file can change cmscout, but git archive excludes it from the source archive. This creates source and binary artifacts that cannot reproduce each other.
Move the clean-tree check before build. Reject untracked, non-ignored files too.

Do not run the release helper from the triggering tag.
actions/checkout@v4 checks out the matching tag, then runs .github/workflows/gh-release.sh with a contents: write github.token. If matching tags are not restricted to release maintainers, a tag creator controls code that can exfiltrate the token or modify releases. Run the helper from a trusted immutable commit, or protect matching tags. Verify tag creation permissions before merging.

In `@Makefile`:
- Line 62: Update the distcheck validation around the cmscout --version command
to extract artifacts/$(package).tar.xz and validate the packaged cmscout binary,
comparing its binary or --version output against the rebuilt source binary.
Preserve the existing version expectation while ensuring the archive contents
are actually exercised.
- Line 48: Validate the tag-derived version used by the distname in the Makefile
before executing archive recipes, restricting it to the supported
release-version character set; ensure both dist and distcheck reject invalid
values before shell evaluation, rather than relying only on release-script
validation.

Version tags build release archives in CI, then create a draft for annotated tags or a public prerelease for lightweight tags. Annotated tags require a matching first NEWS.md entry. Lightweight tags use notes from Git history. Suffixes have no special handling.
make distbuilds the binary and creates xz source and binary archives with checksums. The source tar comes directly fromgit archive, retaining its commit header and adding version information for builds without Git metadata. Binary archives include the Git wrapper, docs, and license texts.make distcheckunpacks the source, checks its commit header, rebuilds, runs tests, vet, and ShellCheck, and compares the rebuilt binary. It works without Docker. CI stays onubuntu-latestand calls.github/workflows/docker.sh make distcheck. That wrapper runs the pinned Ubuntu 24.04 / Go image directly, using its bundled xz. Checkout explicitly fetches tags for version detection.The release job calls
.github/workflows/gh-release.shonce. It reads the project name from the Git remote and leaves release creation togh, with no retry, resume, or deletion logic. The release guide documents the local and CI commands and failure handling.Validation: native
