fix: use -p never shorthand for electron-builder

The --publish never format wasn't being parsed correctly. Using -p never shorthand instead.

+# Investigation: v2.7.1 Release Artifacts Issue
+
+## Investigation Date
+
+2025-12-25
+
+## Summary
+
+The v2.7.1 release has **incorrect files attached**. All artifacts have v2.7.0 in their filenames, indicating the wrong build artifacts were uploaded.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Reproduce and Verify Issue
+
+### Subtask 1-1: Current v2.7.1 Assets
+
+**Command:** `gh release view v2.7.1 --json assets -q '.assets[].name'`
+
+**Release Metadata:**
+- Tag Name: v2.7.1
+- Release Name: v2.7.1
+- Published At: 2025-12-22T13:35:38Z
+- Is Draft: false
+- Is Prerelease: false
+
+**Files Currently Attached to v2.7.1:**
+
+| File Name | Size (bytes) | Expected Name |
+|-----------|-------------|---------------|
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.dmg | 124,187,073 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-arm64.dmg |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.zip | 117,694,085 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-arm64.zip |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.dmg | 130,635,398 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-x64.dmg |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.zip | 124,176,354 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-x64.zip |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-amd64.deb | 104,558,694 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-linux-amd64.deb |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage | 145,482,885 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.0-win32-x64.exe | 101,941,972 | Auto-Claude-2.7.1-win32-x64.exe |
+| checksums.sha256 | 718 | checksums.sha256 (with v2.7.1 filenames) |
+
+### Issue Confirmed
+
+**Problem:** All 7 platform artifacts attached to v2.7.1 have "2.7.0" in their filename instead of "2.7.1".
+
+**Impact:**
+- Users downloading v2.7.1 are receiving v2.7.0 binaries
+- File naming does not match the release version
+- Checksums file likely references v2.7.0 filenames
+- Auto-update mechanisms may be confused by version mismatch
+
+**Evidence:**
+```
+Files attached to v2.7.1:
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.dmg   (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.zip   (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.dmg     (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.zip     (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-amd64.deb    (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- Auto-Claude-2.7.0-win32-x64.exe      (WRONG - should be 2.7.1)
+- checksums.sha256                      (likely references wrong filenames)
+```
+
+---
+
+### Subtask 1-2: Comparison with v2.7.0 and Expected Naming
+
+**Command:** `gh release view v2.7.0 --json assets -q '.assets[].name'`
+
+#### v2.7.0 Release Analysis
+
+**Release Metadata:**
+- Tag Name: v2.7.0
+- Release Name: v2.7.0
+- Published At: 2025-12-22T13:19:13Z
+- Target Commitish: main
+- Is Draft: false
+- Is Prerelease: false
+
+**Critical Finding:** v2.7.0 has **NO assets attached** (empty assets array).
+
+#### Release Timeline
+
+| Release | Published At | Assets Count | Status |
+|---------|-------------|--------------|--------|
+| v2.7.0  | 2025-12-22T13:19:13Z | 0 | No files attached |
+| v2.7.1  | 2025-12-22T13:35:38Z | 8 | Wrong version in filenames |
+| v2.7.2  | 2025-12-22T13:52:51Z | ? | Draft release |
+
+**Observation:** v2.7.0 was published 16 minutes before v2.7.1, but has no artifacts attached.
+
+#### Checksums File Analysis
+
+The `checksums.sha256` file attached to v2.7.1 contains:
+```
+0a0094ff3e52609665f6f0d6d54180dbfc592956f91ef2cdd94e43a61b6b24d2  ./Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.dmg

+```
+
+**Issue:** Checksums file also references v2.7.0 filenames, confirming the build was run with v2.7.0 version.
+
+#### Expected Naming Pattern (from release.yml)
+
+Based on the release workflow analysis, artifacts follow this naming convention:
+```
+Auto-Claude-{version}-{platform}-{arch}.{ext}
+```
+
+Where version comes from `package.json` in `auto-claude-ui/`.
+
+**Expected v2.7.1 Artifacts:**
+| Expected Filename | Actual Filename (Wrong) |
+|-------------------|-------------------------|
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-arm64.dmg | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.dmg |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-arm64.zip | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-arm64.zip |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-x64.dmg | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.dmg |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-darwin-x64.zip | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-darwin-x64.zip |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-linux-amd64.deb | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-amd64.deb |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
+| Auto-Claude-2.7.1-win32-x64.exe | Auto-Claude-2.7.0-win32-x64.exe |
+| checksums.sha256 (v2.7.1 refs) | checksums.sha256 (v2.7.0 refs) |
+
+#### Hypothesis
+
+The evidence suggests one of the following scenarios:
+
+1. **Tag/Version Mismatch:** The v2.7.1 tag may point to a commit where `package.json` still had version `2.7.0`
+2. **Workflow Re-run:** The v2.7.1 release may have been created by re-running the v2.7.0 workflow artifacts
+3. **Manual Upload Error:** Artifacts from v2.7.0 were manually attached to the v2.7.1 release
+4. **Artifact Caching:** Old workflow artifacts were incorrectly reused for v2.7.1
+
+**Next step:** Check git tags and package.json versions to determine root cause.
+
+---
+
+### Subtask 1-3: Package.json Version and Git State Analysis
+
+**Commands Used:**
+- `git show v2.7.1:auto-claude-ui/package.json | jq -r '.version'`
+- `git show v2.7.0:auto-claude-ui/package.json | jq -r '.version'`
+- `git log --oneline v2.7.0..v2.7.1`
+- `git rev-parse v2.7.1^{commit}`
+
+#### Current Package.json State
+
+| Location | Current Version |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| `auto-claude-ui/package.json` (HEAD) | 2.7.1 |
+
+**Note:** The subtask referenced `apps/frontend/package.json`, but the actual path is `auto-claude-ui/package.json`.
+
+#### Version at Git Tags
+
+| Tag | Commit | package.json Version | Expected |
+|-----|--------|---------------------|----------|
+| v2.7.0 | `fe7290a8` | 2.6.5 | 2.7.0 |
+| v2.7.1 | `772a5006` | **2.7.0** ❌ | 2.7.1 |
+
+#### Commit Timeline
+
+```

+ff033a8e auto-claude: subtask-1-1 - List all files...

+...more commits...
+fe7290a8 Release v2.7.0...                          <-- v2.7.0 TAG placed here
+```
+
+#### Root Cause Identified ✅
+
+**Problem:** The `v2.7.1` tag was placed on commit `772a5006` BEFORE the `package.json` version was updated to `2.7.1`.
+
+**Timeline of error:**
+1. Commit `772a5006` created with message "2.7.1" - tag `v2.7.1` placed here
+2. At this commit, `package.json` still contained version `2.7.0`
+3. The release workflow triggered on tag push, building with version `2.7.0` from `package.json`
+4. All artifacts named with `2.7.0` because that's what was in `package.json`
+5. Commit `8db71f3d` later updated `package.json` to `2.7.1` (but tag was already pushed)
+
+**This is a "tag before version bump" error.**
+
+The release workflow correctly read the version from `package.json`, but the tag was created before the version was bumped. The naming convention `${productName}-${version}-${platform}-${arch}.${ext}` correctly used version `2.7.0` because that's what was in `package.json` at the tagged commit.
+
+#### Verification of Build Configuration
+
+From `auto-claude-ui/package.json`:
+```json
+"build": {
+  "artifactName": "${productName}-${version}-${platform}-${arch}.${ext}",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+This confirms the version is sourced from `package.json` during the build process.
+
+#### Git State Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Current Branch | `auto-claude/009-latest-release-v2-7-1-has-wrong-files-attached` |
+| Working Tree | Clean |
+| Current HEAD package.json | 2.7.1 |
+| v2.7.1 tag package.json | 2.7.0 ❌ |
+| v2.7.0 tag package.json | 2.6.5 ❌ |
+
+**Note:** Both v2.7.0 and v2.7.1 tags have version mismatches in `package.json`, indicating a pattern of tagging before version bumping.
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause Summary
+
+| Factor | Finding |
+|--------|---------|
+| What happened? | v2.7.1 tag placed before package.json version bump |
+| Why? | Incorrect release process: tag first, version bump second |
+| Impact | All 7 artifacts have v2.7.0 in filename |
+| Evidence | `git show v2.7.1:auto-claude-ui/package.json` shows version 2.7.0 |
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Subtask 2-1: Inspect v2.7.1 Git Tag and Commit
+
+**Commands Used:**
+```bash
+git log -1 v2.7.1 --format='%H %s %ci'
+git show v2.7.1 --format='Commit: %H%nAuthor: %an <%ae>%nDate: %ci%nMessage: %s' --no-patch
+git tag -l v2.7.1 -n1
+git cat-file -t v2.7.1
+git show v2.7.1:auto-claude-ui/package.json | head -10 | grep version
+```
+
+#### Tag Details
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Tag Name | v2.7.1 |
+| Tag Type | Lightweight (commit reference, not annotated) |
+| Points To | `772a5006d45487b600ce4079bae1c98f9ccf6b2e` |
+
+#### Tagged Commit Details
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Commit Hash | `772a5006d45487b600ce4079bae1c98f9ccf6b2e` |
+| Author | AndyMik90 <andre@mikalsenutvikling.no> |
+| Commit Date | 2025-12-22 14:35:30 +0100 |
+| Commit Message | `2.7.1` |
+| package.json Version | **2.7.0** (MISMATCH) |
+
+#### Verification Output
+
+```
+$ git log -1 v2.7.1 --format='%H %s %ci'
+772a5006d45487b600ce4079bae1c98f9ccf6b2e 2.7.1 2025-12-22 14:35:30 +0100
+
+$ git show v2.7.1:auto-claude-ui/package.json | grep version
+  "version": "2.7.0",
+```
+
+#### Commit Context
+
+```
+$ git log -3 --oneline v2.7.1
+772a5006 2.7.1                                        <-- v2.7.1 TAG HERE
+d23fcd86 Enhance VirusTotal scan error handling...
+326118bd Refactor macOS build workflow...
+```
+
+#### Analysis
+
+1. **Tag Type:** The tag is a lightweight tag (just a commit reference), not an annotated tag. This means there's no separate tag object with metadata, author, or message.
+
+2. **Commit Message vs Version:** The commit message says "2.7.1" but the `package.json` at this commit still contains version `2.7.0`. This is the source of the mismatch.
+
+3. **Release Workflow Behavior:** When the GitHub release workflow triggered on tag push `v2.7.1`:
+   - It checked out commit `772a5006`
+   - It read version from `auto-claude-ui/package.json` which was `2.7.0`
+   - It built artifacts with `2.7.0` in the filename
+   - It uploaded these incorrectly-versioned artifacts to the v2.7.1 release
+
+4. **Timeline Confirmation:**
+   - Tag created: 2025-12-22 14:35:30 +0100
+   - Release published: 2025-12-22T13:35:38Z (same time, UTC)
+   - Version bump commit `8db71f3d` happened AFTER this
+
+#### Root Cause Confirmed
+
+The v2.7.1 tag points to a commit where `package.json` still had version `2.7.0`. This is a **"tag before version bump"** error in the release process.
+
+The correct sequence should have been:
+1. First: Bump package.json version to 2.7.1
+2. Second: Commit the version bump
+3. Third: Create and push the v2.7.1 tag
+
+What actually happened:
+1. Created tag v2.7.1 on commit with package.json version 2.7.0
+2. Workflow triggered and built with wrong version
+3. Version bump to 2.7.1 committed afterwards (too late)

+
+#### Release Workflow Run Details
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|

+
+#### Build Jobs Summary
+
+| Job | Status | Duration | Started | Completed |
+|-----|--------|----------|---------|-----------|
+| build-linux | ✅ success | ~2.5 min | 13:35:42Z | 13:38:15Z |

+| create-release | ✅ success | ~10 min | 13:42:55Z | 13:53:01Z |
+
+#### Create-Release Job Steps
+
+| Step | Conclusion |
+|------|------------|
+| Set up job | ✅ success |
+| Run actions/checkout@v4 | ✅ success |
+| Download all artifacts | ✅ success |
+| Flatten and validate artifacts | ✅ success |
+| Generate checksums | ✅ success |
+| Scan with VirusTotal | ✅ success |
+| Dry run summary | ⏭️ skipped |
+| Generate changelog | ✅ success |
+| Create Release | ✅ success |
+
+**Workflow Analysis:** The release workflow executed **successfully** - all build jobs and the release creation completed without errors. The workflow correctly:
+1. Checked out commit `772a5006d45487b600ce4079bae1c98f9ccf6b2e`
+2. Built artifacts for all platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS Intel, macOS ARM64)
+3. Generated checksums
+4. Ran VirusTotal scans
+5. Created the GitHub release with artifacts
+
+**Key Finding:** The workflow operated as designed. The problem was the **input** (source code at tagged commit), not the **workflow logic**.
+

+
+#### 🚨 CRITICAL: Validate Version Workflow FAILED
+
+**Run ID:** 20433472034
+**Conclusion:** ❌ **FAILURE**
+
+| Step | Conclusion |
+|------|------------|
+| Set up job | ✅ success |
+| Checkout | ✅ success |
+| Extract version from tag | ✅ success |
+| Extract version from package.json | ✅ success |
+| **Compare versions** | ❌ **FAILURE** |
+| Version validation result | ⏭️ skipped |
+
+**What Happened:**
+1. The `validate-version.yml` workflow triggered on the v2.7.1 tag push
+2. It correctly detected that:
+   - Tag version: `2.7.1`
+   - package.json version: `2.7.0`
+3. It **FAILED** with an error because versions didn't match
+
+**Why Didn't This Stop the Release?**
+
+The `validate-version.yml` and `release.yml` workflows are **independent**:
+- Both trigger on `push: tags: - 'v*'`
+- They run in **parallel**, not sequentially
+- The release workflow has **no dependency** on the validation workflow
+- Even though validation failed, the release proceeded and succeeded
+
+**Validation Workflow (from `.github/workflows/validate-version.yml`):**
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+    tags:
+      - 'v*'
+```
+
+**Expected Output from Failed Validation:**
+```
+❌ ERROR: Version mismatch detected!
+
+The version in package.json (2.7.0) does not match
+the git tag version (2.7.1).
+
+To fix this:
+  1. Delete this tag: git tag -d v2.7.1
+  2. Update package.json version to 2.7.1
+  3. Commit the change
+  4. Recreate the tag: git tag -a v2.7.1 -m 'Release v2.7.1'
+```
+

+
+#### Workflow Architecture Issue
+
+```

+#### Root Cause Confirmation
+
+The GitHub Actions analysis confirms:
+
+1. **The release workflow worked correctly** - it built exactly what was in the source code at the tagged commit
+2. **The validation workflow detected the problem** - it correctly identified the version mismatch
+3. **The workflows are not connected** - validation failure could not prevent the release
+4. **The artifacts are from the right commit but wrong version** - v2.7.1 release contains v2.7.0 artifacts because that's what package.json said at commit `772a5006`
+
+---
+
+### Subtask 2-3: Root Cause Statement and Fix Options
+
+#### Root Cause Statement
+
+**Summary:** The v2.7.1 release contains v2.7.0 artifacts because the git tag was created BEFORE the `package.json` version was updated.
+
+**Root Cause:** "Tag Before Version Bump" Error
+
+| Factor | Details |
+|--------|---------|
+| **What happened** | The `v2.7.1` git tag was placed on commit `772a5006` which still had `package.json` version `2.7.0` |
+| **Why it happened** | Incorrect release procedure: tag was created before version bump was committed |
+| **How it propagated** | The release workflow correctly built from the tagged commit, reading version `2.7.0` from `package.json` |
+| **Why it wasn't caught** | The `validate-version.yml` workflow detected the mismatch but runs in parallel with `release.yml` and cannot block it |
+
+**Evidence Chain:**
+1. `git show v2.7.1:auto-claude-ui/package.json` → version `2.7.0`
+2. Release workflow run #20433472030 → built from commit `772a5006` → success
+3. Validate-version workflow run #20433472034 → detected mismatch → **FAILED** (but couldn't stop release)
+4. All 7 artifacts named `Auto-Claude-2.7.0-*` instead of `Auto-Claude-2.7.1-*`
+
+**Contributing Factors:**
+- Lightweight tag (no metadata) - easier to create on wrong commit
+- No pre-tag validation hook or script
+- Independent parallel workflows with no blocking dependency
+- Version in `package.json` is the single source of truth for artifact naming
+
+---
+
+#### Fix Options
+
+##### Option A: Recreate v2.7.1 Tag and Release (RECOMMENDED)
+
+**Description:** Delete the current v2.7.1 tag and release, then create a new tag on a commit where `package.json` has version `2.7.1`.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Delete the v2.7.1 GitHub release: `gh release delete v2.7.1 --cleanup-tag --yes`
+2. Identify correct commit: `git log --oneline | grep -A1 "Update version to 2.7.1"`
+3. Create new tag at correct commit: `git tag v2.7.1 8db71f3d && git push origin v2.7.1`
+4. Release workflow will trigger automatically with correct version
+5. Verify new artifacts have `2.7.1` in filenames
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Users get the correct version they expect (v2.7.1)
+- ✅ Maintains clean version history
+- ✅ Checksums will match the correct filenames
+- ✅ Auto-update mechanisms will work correctly
+- ✅ No need to update documentation or links
+
+**Cons:**
+- ⚠️ Users who already downloaded v2.7.1 (v2.7.0 files) may be confused
+- ⚠️ Requires deleting and recreating the release
+- ⚠️ Brief window where v2.7.1 doesn't exist
+
+**Risk Level:** Medium - temporary unavailability, but correct outcome
+
+---
+
+##### Option B: Publish v2.7.2 with Correct Files
+
+**Description:** Leave v2.7.1 as-is (deprecated) and publish v2.7.2 with the correct build.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Mark v2.7.1 as deprecated in release notes
+2. Bump package.json to 2.7.2
+3. Create and push v2.7.2 tag
+4. Publish v2.7.2 release with correct artifacts
+5. Update download links/documentation to point to v2.7.2
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ No disruption to existing v2.7.1 downloads
+- ✅ Preserves release history for audit trail
+- ✅ Clear indication that v2.7.2 supersedes v2.7.1
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Version number gap in release history (no "real" 2.7.1)
+- ❌ Confusing version progression for users
+- ❌ Requires updating all download links and documentation
+- ❌ Users may still download deprecated v2.7.1
+
+**Risk Level:** Low - no deletion, but messy version history
+
+---
+
+##### Option C: Manual File Upload with --clobber
+
+**Description:** Build correct v2.7.1 artifacts locally and upload to replace existing files.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Checkout commit with package.json version 2.7.1
+2. Build all platform artifacts locally (or trigger workflow to download)
+3. Delete existing assets: `gh release delete-asset v2.7.1 Auto-Claude-2.7.0-* --yes`
+4. Upload correct files: `gh release upload v2.7.1 ./dist/* --clobber`
+5. Update checksums file
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Keeps same release and tag
+- ✅ No temporary unavailability window
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Complex manual process prone to errors
+- ❌ Requires local build environment for all platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux)
+- ❌ May not match workflow-built artifacts exactly
+- ❌ Code signing could be different than CI
+- ❌ Does not address underlying tag/commit mismatch
+
+**Risk Level:** High - manual process, potential signing issues
+
+---
+
+#### Recommendation
+
+**Recommended Option: A - Recreate v2.7.1 Tag and Release**
+
+**Rationale:**
+1. **Correctness**: The tag should point to a commit where the codebase reflects v2.7.1
+2. **Automation**: Letting the release workflow rebuild ensures identical CI artifacts
+3. **User Experience**: Users expect v2.7.1 to contain 2.7.1 code and files
+4. **Maintainability**: Clean version history is easier to manage long-term
+5. **Auto-updates**: Electron auto-updater relies on version matching
+
+**Implementation Priority:**
+1. First: Fix v2.7.1 release (Option A)
+2. Then: Update workflow to prevent recurrence (make validation blocking)
+
+---
+
+#### Process Improvements Required
+
+Regardless of fix option chosen, these changes should be implemented to prevent recurrence:
+
+| Improvement | Priority | Description |
+|-------------|----------|-------------|
+| Make validation blocking | HIGH | Modify `release.yml` to depend on `validate-version.yml` passing |
+| Add pre-tag script | MEDIUM | Create script that validates version before allowing tag creation |
+| Use annotated tags | LOW | Annotated tags include metadata and require explicit message |
+| Document release procedure | MEDIUM | Create runbook for correct release process |
+
+**Workflow Architecture Change:**
+```yaml
+# Before (parallel, independent):
+Tag Push → release.yml (runs)
+         → validate-version.yml (runs, but can't block)
+
+# After (sequential, dependent):
+Tag Push → validate-version.yml (runs first)
+           ↓ success required
+         → release.yml (only runs if validation passes)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ~~**Subtask 1-1:** Verify v2.7.1 assets~~ ✅ Complete
+2. ~~**Subtask 1-2:** Compare with v2.7.0 release and verify expected naming pattern~~ ✅ Complete
+3. ~~**Subtask 1-3:** Check package.json version and git state~~ ✅ Complete - ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED
+4. ~~**Subtask 2-1:** Inspect v2.7.1 git tag and commit~~ ✅ Complete - TAG/COMMIT MISMATCH CONFIRMED
+5. ~~**Subtask 2-2:** Check release workflow runs~~ ✅ Complete - VALIDATION DETECTED BUT COULDN'T STOP RELEASE
+6. ~~**Subtask 2-3:** Document fix options~~ ✅ Complete - 3 OPTIONS DOCUMENTED, OPTION A RECOMMENDED
+7. **Phase 3:** Implement fix (re-upload correct files or publish v2.7.2)
+8. **Phase 4:** Add validation to prevent future occurrences
+
+---
+
+## Status: Phase 2 Complete ✅
+
+**Root Cause:** The v2.7.1 tag was created on commit `772a5006` which still had `package.json` version `2.7.0`. The validation workflow detected this but couldn't stop the release workflow.
+
+**Key Findings from Workflow Analysis:**
+- Release workflow (ID: 20433472030): ✅ Success - correctly built from tagged commit
+- Validate Version workflow (ID: 20433472034): ❌ Failed - correctly detected version mismatch
+- The workflows run in parallel with no dependency relationship
+
+**Recommended Fix:** Option A - Delete v2.7.1 tag and release, recreate tag at commit `8db71f3d` where `package.json` has version `2.7.1`, let workflow rebuild.
+
+**Process Improvement Needed:**
+- Version bump should ALWAYS happen BEFORE tagging
+- **Make release.yml depend on validate-version.yml** using `needs:` or combine them
+- Consider using a reusable workflow or job dependency to enforce validation
