When the Release Please PR is merged, the same release workflow creates the GitHub release and publishes both the versioned container image and the Helm chart to GHCR.

A release PR must retain Release Please's `autorelease: pending` metadata. If a PR has to be recreated manually from the generated release branch, restore that label before merging it; otherwise Release Please will treat the merge as an ordinary commit and generate the next release proposal instead of tagging the merged version.
A release PR must retain Release Please's `autorelease: pending` metadata. If a PR has to be recreated manually from the generated release branch, restore that label and preserve the generated Release Please body/header before merging it; otherwise Release Please may treat the merge as an ordinary commit and generate the next release proposal instead of tagging the merged version.

For recovery of a merged-but-untagged release PR, restore `autorelease: pending`, repair the generated body if needed, and re-run the Release Please workflow before accepting a newer release proposal.
