Conversation
Explain how to run the workflows that create a release branch and check that it still builds before releasing from it, both from the Actions tab and with the GitHub CLI: CI on the branch, and a dry run of the Release workflow from `main`. Warn that the dry run must be started from `main`, since running the Release workflow from a tag releases it.
