 2. **`main` is a remote push-target, nothing more.** Local `main` can be 7000 commits
    behind — it does **not** matter. The only thing ever done to local main is a
    *cosmetic* pull. Never build on it, never read files from it.

    - To reference main for a tag, use **`origin/main`** (the remote ref), never local main.
