+name: Auto version & release
+
+# Fires on every push to main. Parses commit messages since the
+# last semver tag, decides patch/minor/major bump, creates the
+# tag, pushes. The tag push then triggers android-release.yml and
+# docker-publish.yml. Fully hands-off — you never pick a version
+# number; your commit messages do.
+#
+# Commit message grammar (Conventional Commits):
+#   feat:  → minor bump   (new feature, backward-compatible)
+#   fix:   → patch bump   (bug fix)
+#   feat!: / BREAKING CHANGE in body → major bump
+#   everything else (docs, refactor, chore, style, ci, test) → no bump
+#
+# Skip conditions (no new release created):
+#   - No commits match the above patterns
+#   - The most recent commit is itself a release commit ("Release v…")
+#   - [skip ci] appears in any commit message since the last tag
