+# Thin caller: build, dist check, GitHub Release and PyPI upload all live in
+# the shared reusable, so every pinned action version is maintained centrally
+# in netresearch/.github. This workflow has zero step-level `uses:`.
+#
+# PyPI publishing is OFF, and that records a fact rather than making a policy
+# choice: the token-based publish jobs this replaces could never have run.
+# The repo has no Actions secrets at all, so PYPI_API_TOKEN and
+# TEST_PYPI_API_TOKEN resolved to empty; there are no tags, no releases, and
+# cli-audit is not registered on PyPI.
+#
+# Turning publishing on needs two things that cannot be done from a workflow
+# file:
+#   1. a PyPI Trusted Publisher configured for
+#      netresearch/coding_agent_cli_toolset, pointing at this workflow and at
+#      the environment named by the reusable's `pypi-environment` input,
+#   2. that GitHub Environment (only `copilot` exists today).
+# Then set publish-pypi: true. No token is required — the reusable uploads
+# via OIDC Trusted Publishing.
