Document publishing the installer as a release asset
The exe is attached to a release, never committed: most forges reject files over 100 MB inside a repository while allowing release assets far larger, and a committed binary would sit in every future clone forever. Also records that tags must be pushed explicitly. A plain push of the branch does not carry them, so a release had nothing to hang off.

The installer is attached to a git-forge release as an ASSET, never committed.

Most forges reject files over 100 MB inside a repository while allowing release
|

assets far larger, and a committed binary would sit in every future clone
|

forever. Release creation is scripted next to the other deployment scripts and
|

verifies the SHA-256 before publishing, because a truncated upload is easiest to
|

catch before anyone can download it.

Tags have to reach the forge for a release to hang off one: a plain
|
||||
`git push <remote> main` does not carry them, which is why the push step uses
|
||||
`--follow-tags`.

The compiled installer stages a CycloneDX inventory (`sbom.cdx.json`) onto every
|
||||
server, which is what answers a security question about a published
|
||||
vulnerability without anyone guessing.
