<!--
AGENTS.md is the source of truth for working on this repo: conventions,
the local gate, CI gates, and the manual release flow. Claude Code does not
follow a Markdown link, so the `@AGENTS.md` import below loads it. The
never-release rule is repeated here so it applies even if that import is skipped.

## Never release

Agents must never push a `v*` tag, merge a release pull request, run
`.github/workflows/release-pr.yml` or `.github/workflows/release.yml`, or
`gem push`. Do not create a GitHub Release. A release needs a human
collaborator with maintain or admin permission to start the workflow, and
approval of the `rubygems` environment by its required reviewers. Pushing a
tag leaves the gem unpublished. When a task needs a release, tell a
maintainer the steps in the Releasing section of AGENTS.md. Do not perform
them.
