Owner

Runs as a composite action that downloads the static binary for the runner's OS and architecture from the release assets, checks it against checksums.txt and runs it, so the action no longer needs a Docker daemon. Released as 1.5.0.

The release is cut on Forgejo, which builds the four binaries and publishes them with the release. On the GitHub mirror, mirror-release.yaml copies the assets into the GitHub release when the tag arrives. On github.com the action downloads from the GitHub release first and from Forgejo second; everywhere else the order is reversed.

No image is published from here on. Earlier tags keep their ghcr images.

The GitHub ci and release workflows go: on the mirror they would cut
releases of their own. mirror-release.yaml copies each Forgejo release
onto the GitHub one of the same tag, so mikluko/action-changelog@v1
keeps downloading from GitHub on GitHub runners.

The release candidate image CI published from pull requests goes with
the image job, and nothing replaces it.

Carries the composite packaging.

The tag is not cut here. Reaching main is what cuts it, from this entry.
