Symptom
The agent's git proxy token pushes branches fine, but creating a tag alone returns 403 (curl 22). Tag-triggered workflows (on: push tags) can't be fired.
Fix
Add workflow_dispatch (with a version input) to the workflow, and inside it run gh release create <ver> --target <sha> to create the tag and release on that commit. The agent only triggers the workflow run; a human presses the same button in the Actions UI.
★ Any automation that needs a tag push is designed around this workaround from the start.
