 Releases use two workflows:
 
 - `Prepare Release` runs on demand, updates `release-version` and `changelog.md`, commits those changes back to `main`, and pushes the release tag.
-- `Do Release` runs from the pushed tag, reads the matching changelog section from that tagged revision, creates or updates the release, and uploads prebuilt binaries.
+- `Prepare Release` then calls `Do Release` directly via reusable `workflow_call` with the resolved tag.
+- `Do Release` reads the matching changelog section from that tagged revision, creates or updates the release, and uploads prebuilt binaries.
 
-This split matters because release notes must be generated from the tagged commit that already contains the promoted changelog section.
+Calling `Do Release` directly avoids environments where tag pushes from workflow tokens do not emit a follow-up workflow trigger event.
