tag-bump: land bumps via PR + auto-merge instead of direct push - #19

Conversation
Every zone-1 repo protects main with require-PR (0 approvals) + the
"test" check, and the built-in github-actions app cannot be granted a
bypass — classic protection allowances silently drop it and repo
rulesets reject it ("must be part of the owner organization"). Direct
pushes therefore never worked; the cascade's auto-tag has been dead on
arrival everywhere.
The bump now goes branch -> PR -> auto-merge (gated by the repo's own
"test" check) -> tag the merge commit. Protection stays intact for
humans, the bump gets validated by the target repo's CI before main
moves, and the changelog/release step tags the real merged SHA.
Requires pull-requests: write from callers (cascade.yml wave ships
separately).

Zone-1 mains all require PRs (0 approvals) + the
testcheck, and the built-in github-actions app can't be granted a bypass (classic allowances silently drop it; rulesets reject it). So the cascade's direct-push auto-tag never worked anywhere.New flow: branch → PR → auto-merge once
testpasses → tag the merge commit. Protection stays for humans; bumps get validated by the target repo's own CI before main moves. Callers needpull-requests: write— receiver wave ships separately.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
