+      # "fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository" and then silently
+      # reports "Working tree clean. Nothing to commit.", skipping the commit,
+      # tag, and push — which causes the downstream build job to fail with
+      # "A branch or tag with the name 'vX.Y.Z' could not be found".
+      # Running git directly in the job's shell lets us set safe.directory
+      # for the actual UID running git and reliably commit + tag + push.
