…ualenv The tag-triggered release workflow only handled PyPI publishing, leaving the zipapp build, GitHub Release creation, and get-virtualenv update as manual steps. Replace it with a workflow_dispatch workflow that accepts a version input and handles the full release pipeline: changelog generation, commit and tag, PyPI publish, zipapp build, GitHub Release, and get-virtualenv update. Document both the GHA and local release paths in the development docs. Signed-off-by: Bernát Gábor <bgabor8@bloomberg.net>

Releasing virtualenv currently requires running
tox -e releaselocally to generate the changelog and push a tag, which only triggers PyPI publishing. The zipapp build, GitHub Release creation, and updatingget-virtualenv(which serveshttps://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv.pyz) are all separate manual steps that are easy to forget or do inconsistently.This replaces the tag-triggered release workflow with a
workflow_dispatchone that accepts a version input and handles the entire pipeline: changelog generation viatowncrier, commit and tag push tomain, PyPI publish via trusted publishing, zipapp build viatox r -e zipapp, GitHub Release with the zipapp attached, and pushing the updated zipapp topypa/get-virtualenv. The workflow requires aGH_RELEASE_TOKENfine-grained PAT secret scoped to bothvirtualenvandget-virtualenvwith contents read/write permission.The local
tox -e releasepath is preserved for cases where a maintainer prefers to drive the process manually. The development docs now document both paths end-to-end, including the previously undocumented zipapp andget-virtualenvupdate steps.
