<h2>v3.0.2</h2>
<p><code>3.0.2</code> is a patch release focused on release reliability
and compatibility. It
reuses existing draft releases when publishing prereleases, supports
replacing
release assets on Gitea, hardens streamed asset uploads, and provides
clearer
release-creation diagnostics. It also includes TypeScript, coverage, and
tooling
maintenance merged since <code>3.0.1</code>.</p>
<p>This release fixes <a

<a

and <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/803">#803</a>.
The upload transport hardening covers the
historical failure reported in <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/790">#790</a>,
although current hosted Node 24 runners did
not reproduce it naturally. The diagnostics work is related to <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/786">#786</a>
and does not
claim a reproducible release-creation fix.</p>

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] AGENTS: add fleet author-identity git rule (#510)

## What

Adds the fleet **author-identity** git rule to `AGENTS.md`, inserted
immediately after the existing commit-signing bullet in the *Git and
Commit Rules* section.

## Why

Fleet audit found this repo's `AGENTS.md` already carries the signing
rule and the default-to-staging rule, but was **missing** the
author-identity rule present in the canonical template. This adds it for
consistency across the fleet.

The new rule requires that the `author`/`committer` on every
agent-authored commit be the committing account's GitHub `noreply`
address (`ptr727@users.noreply.github.com` for this single-maintainer
fleet), never a private, personal, or invented address. It explains the
practical failure modes: a private email trips GitHub email-privacy push
protection (GH007), and an invented author pollutes history. Identity is
called out as separate from (but adjacent to) the signing rule above it.

## Notes

- Verbatim from the canonical template; ASCII-only.
- CRLF line endings preserved (this repo's `AGENTS.md` is CRLF); zero
mixed endings.
- Commit is SSH-signed.

 - **Default to staging, not committing.** Stage changes with `git add` and leave `git commit` to the developer unless the developer has explicitly authorized the agent to commit for the current ask ("commit this", "open a PR", etc.). Authorization is scope-bound - it covers the commits needed for that specific task, not a blanket commit license for the rest of the session.
 - **All commits must be cryptographically signed (SSH or GPG).** Branch protection enforces this on both branches; unsigned commits are rejected on push. Signing depends on environment configuration - `git config commit.gpgsign true`, a configured `user.signingkey`, and a working signing agent (loaded `ssh-agent` for SSH, or `gpg-agent` for GPG). If signing is not configured in the environment, **do not commit** - surface the missing config to the developer and stop at `git add`. Verify before any agent-authored commit (`git config --get commit.gpgsign && ssh-add -L` or the GPG equivalent). **Signing must be live before the *first* commit, not retrofitted.** Turning on `Require signed commits` against a branch that already has unsigned commits forces a rewrite of that entire history to re-sign it - changing every commit SHA and making whoever does the rewrite the committer and signer of every commit (a rebase preserves the `author` field but not the original signatures; you cannot sign another contributor's commits for them). During new-repo setup, never create commits until signing is verified.
+- **Commit under the committing account's own GitHub `noreply` identity - never a private, personal, or invented address.** The `author` and `committer` on every agent-authored commit are the GitHub `noreply` address of the account whose key signs the commit (above) - GitHub issues these in a `username@users.noreply.github.com` or `ID+username@users.noreply.github.com` form, and for this single-maintainer fleet it is the owner's `ptr727@users.noreply.github.com`. Do not set `user.name`/`user.email` to a fabricated persona, bot name, or product name, and do not commit under whatever identity the environment happens to carry: verify `git config --get user.email` is that GitHub `noreply` address before committing, and fix it if not. A wrong identity is not cosmetic - a private email trips GitHub's email-privacy push protection (GH007), and an unrecognized or invented author pollutes history. Identity is separate from signing: a wrong author does not by itself fail the signature rule, but the ad-hoc identities that produce it are typically also unsigned, which the signing rule above then rejects on push.
 - **Never force push.** Do not run `git push --force` or `git push --force-with-lease` under any circumstances. Force pushing rewrites shared history and can cause data loss.
 - **Never run destructive git commands** (`git reset --hard`, `git checkout .`, `git restore .`, `git clean -f`) without explicit developer instruction.
 - **Mirror to `develop` any change that lands on `main` outside the feature -> develop -> main flow.** A reconciliation-branch fix made to resolve a `develop -> main` promotion conflict, or a security PR that merges only to `main`, leaves `develop` behind on that content - and forward-only `develop` never back-merges to catch up (the same parallel-target principle as the bots). Before basing new work on `develop`, or diagnosing a defect from it, check `git diff origin/develop origin/main`: a non-empty content diff means develop is stale and the defect may already be fixed on `main`.
