Collaborator

Sixth iteration on #7 — progress: build and both pushes succeeded (the native overlay storage fix was the right one). The run now fails at the repository tag step:

Committer identity unknown
*** Please tell me who you are.
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'root@…')

Root cause

My oversight: the annotated git tag needs a committer identity, and the workflow never sets one — the anonymous clone carries no user config (my local test clones did, which is why I never saw it).

Fix

The git setup step now also configures user.name = bot and user.email = bot@users.noreply.factory.serious-devs.io (covers the annotated tag and the bump commit). If you want the tag/bump commits attributed to the bot account on the forge, register that address on the bot account — same treatment as hermes_forgeron@r-w-x.net.

fix: set the git identity before tagging and committing c77cd4729f

The annotated tag (and the bump commit) need a committer identity;
the anonymous clone has none, so git refused with "Committer
identity unknown". Configure bot + a noreply address in the git
setup step.
