+      # The installer does not resolve "latest" at run time — it installs the
+      # exact combination named by a published bundle (docs/installer/PLAN.md
+      # §7.1). So a sidecar release that nobody recomposes around is a release
+      # no operator will ever be offered. This step tells the installer repo to
+      # rebuild that manifest now, instead of leaving the new version invisible
+      # until its nightly cron.
+      #
+      # DISPATCH, DON'T WAIT (PLAN.md §7.3). Gitea's workflow-dispatch endpoint
+      # returns no run handle, so there is nothing to poll: a waiting step would
+      # have to guess which run is its own and hold a runner idle to do it. The
+      # bundle job runs its own gates regardless of who started it.
+      #
+      # A failure here is a WARNING, never a failure of this job. The release is
+      # already published and correct by this point; failing the run would
+      # misreport that. The installer's nightly cron recomposes from whatever
+      # the latest releases actually are, so a dropped dispatch self-heals — it
+      # costs latency, not correctness.

+      # `repository_dispatch` is deliberately not used: support for it is
