+  # workflow only built and uploaded, so an asset shipped while both Validate
+  # runs for the very same commit were red. The asset now waits for a green
+  # Validate of the EXACT commit the tag points at, and is withheld otherwise.
+  #
+  # Needs a push with a token that has the `workflow` scope (the ordinary
+  # Personal Access Token used for `git push` refuses workflow file updates).
