-# Axioms of the release pipeline:
-# - Each release starts from timefold-solver by running this GitHub Action.
-# - Each individual repository can only start its own release when its dependencies are fully released.
-#   timefold-solver-enterprise depends on timefold-solver
-#   timefold-quickstarts depends on timefold-solver
-#   timefold-website releases last
-# - Each individual repository uses 999-SNAPSHOT as its development version, even on micro branches.
-#
-# Should any of these axioms change, the release pipeline will need to be (significantly) refactored.
-# 0.8.x releases existed before this pipeline; they are done differently, similarities are coincidental.
