feat(release): stop minting image/* and chart/* git tags and Releases - #28
Merged
Conversation
The tags were pure mirrors of artifacts already in ECR — Kargo never read them, versions now resolve from ECR, change detection baselines on refs/releases/* marker refs, and Dispatch learns about publishes from the direct CI notification plus the EventBridge ECR-push backstop (all verified live). They accumulated ~80/day on trading and taxed Kargo's git tag enumeration. Dropping them also removes the failure mode where a build failed on tag push after the image was already in ECR. The aggregated GitHub Release was keyed off the tag and goes with it — Dispatch's Slack cards carry the changelog. release-summary survives as a bare fail-gate so its check name stays stable; the legacy-tag fallback reads stay so services that haven't released since marker refs landed still change-detect off the frozen historical tags.

Summary
The final PR of the deploy-tagging re-evaluation — every dependency on the
image/*/chart/*git tags has been replaced and verified live, so the tags and the aggregated GitHub Releases stop being minted:refs/releases/{image,chart}/<svc>marker refs (feat(release): version from ECR + marker-ref baselines, not git tags #23), with the historical tags remaining in repos as the frozen fallback until each service releases once. Dispatch learns about publishes from the signednotify-dispatchPOST (feat(release): notify Dispatch directly on publish + chart sha alias #24) plus the EventBridge ECR-push backstop (dispatch#195/#197, platform-infrastructure#475) — all proven end-to-end on understudy (CI notification beat even the backstop; chart provenance via theX.Y.Z-<sha7>alias, fix(chart-release): pass the manifest media type when aliasing charts #27).release-summaryjobs survive as bare fail-gates — check names stay stable for branch protection; the release-info artifact plumbing goes with thegh release createit fed.Fixes pinpredict/platform-gitops#1201
