The tag-push run can get stuck/queued or fail, leaving the floating major tag (v1) stale even though a vX.Y.Z release exists. Add a workflow_dispatch trigger that re-points the major tag at a given release tag (or the latest vX.Y.Z), fetch tags in checkout, and resolve the commit via `git rev-list` so annotated tags are dereferenced correctly. Document the manual fallback in RELEASING.md and the README. Co-Authored-By: Chris Rackauckas <accounts@chrisrackauckas.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
