Keep development on main while QA tests a separate release branch. Replace Prepare release with Start release and Publish release.

For example, releasing 0.3.0:

  1. Start release creates release/0.3.0 and draft pre-release v0.3.0rc1 with QA artifacts.
  2. Merge a fix into that branch. Automation prepares rc2 and opens a forward-port PR to main. CI starts automatically using the service-account token; the PR auto-merges once checks and approvals permit.
  3. Publish release with the accepted v0.3.0rc2 rebuilds and validates the final package, stages its wheel in NGC, and publishes the final GitHub release.

Publication stops if the release branch has moved beyond the selected candidate. Only final releases go to NGC. PyPI publishing stays separate.
