Validate dispatch values before shell expansion.
Line 97 accepts any dry-run value. Lines 95-98 also allow any tag value during a dry run. These values are later expanded into run scripts through ${{ steps.release.outputs.* }}.
A dispatcher can use shell metacharacters in these inputs to execute commands in the runner. This can bypass the dry-run and branch-to-tag controls.
Allowlist dry-run as true|false and tag as preview|latest before writing outputs. Pass release values through env variables instead of interpolating outputs directly into shell scripts.

Correct the evidence-gate scope.
Line 293 says that npm publish runs the fresh-machine evidence matrix. prepublishOnly only runs build checks, and .github/workflows/publish.yml does not invoke scripts/require-release-evidence.mjs.
Remove the direct npm publish claim, or add the evidence gate to the publishing path.

Summary
Implements #333 with the adjusted scope from the 2026-08-13 issue comment: keep
devas the integration branch (feature → dev → main), no branch renames, no dev deletion.What changed
.github/workflows/publish.ymlis now dispatch-only. Thepush:trigger is removed entirely; a stray push to main/preview can no longer fire a real npm publish. A new requiredexpected-shainput pins the dispatched ref: the run fails in its first step ifgithub.shadiffers (branch moved after promotion). The tag:branch matching rules stay (latestonly frommainref,previewonly frompreviewref).scripts/release.sh→scripts/promote-to-main.sh. New flow: run from a cleandevcheckout with HEAD == origin/dev; gate:all + Electron checks + evidence gate; version bump commit created on dev and pushed to origin/dev; that exact SHA fast-forward pushed to origin/main (git push origin <sha>:main, never force); tag + GitHub Release stub; finally prints the exactgh workflow run publish.yml --ref main -f expected-sha=<sha> ...command for the operator instead of auto-dispatching. This removes the "main ahead of dev by the release commit" divergence at the root.safe-install.test.ts/electron-version-sync.test.ts.require-release-evidence.mjstrigger paths, README release section,structure/infra.mdscripts list.structure/infra.mdcovering the promotion procedure, dispatch-only publish, rollback/partial-release recovery, and the manual admin steps below.Manual admin steps (owner only — push token has no admin scope)
