+// Tests for the draft-release eventual-consistency race that caused the second
+// env's Finalize Hotfix to fail with "no release found for tag ..." even though
+// the draft existed.
+//
+// Two failure modes are exercised:
+//
+//  (a) Prong 1 - create->prerelease using the returned release ID directly,
+//      bypassing findRelease entirely. The fake server returns 404 on
+//      GET /releases/tags/{tag} AND an empty list on GET /releases, so any
+//      code that still calls findRelease on the prerelease path will fail.
+//
+//  (b) Prong 2 - findReleaseByTagOrSHA bounded retry: the list returns empty on
+//      the first call and the real release on the second, simulating GitHub's
+//      list endpoint eventual-consistency. The retry must eventually succeed.
+//      When the release never appears the function must return a non-nil error.
+//
+// The act+gitea e2e harness cannot reproduce this race (Gitea's release API
+// skips the prerelease PATCH entirely). These unit tests with a stubbed
+// eventual-consistency server are the regression guard.
