fix(ci): use PAT for auto-tag to trigger downstream release build#692
Conversation
Tags pushed by GITHUB_TOKEN don't trigger on.push.tags workflows (GitHub anti-recursion safeguard). Switch to RELEASE_PAT so the desktop-release.yml build fires automatically after auto-tagging. Requires: repo secret RELEASE_PAT with contents:write scope.
