+# This workflow can restore two of the three predicates a normal release carries:
+# SLSA build provenance and the CycloneDX SBOM. It cannot restore the third. The
+# `https://in-toto.io/attestation/release/v0.2` predicate is issued by GitHub
+# itself at publication time and signed by `https://dotcom.releases.github.com`,
+# not by any workflow identity, and these releases are already published and
+# immutable. Emitting a lookalike from Actions would be a different claim wearing
+# the same predicate type, so this workflow does not emit one.
+#
+# The provenance this workflow signs also names `attest-release.yml@refs/heads/main`
+# as the builder, because that is what built it. It does not and cannot claim to
+# be `release.yml` at the tag. Verification that pins the signer workflow will
+# fail for anything attested here, and that is the honest result.
