+# added would (a) create an orphan tag if the PR is later closed
+# unmerged, and (b) point at a commit SHA that doesn't survive a squash
+# merge (main gets a brand-new commit). Using
+# `pull_request.merge_commit_sha` from the `closed`+merged event instead
+# is correct for merge, squash, and rebase alike, and never tags
