Tag and push

git tag v<version>

Three workflows fire in parallel:

• Build and Release creates the GitHub release
• Publish to Hangar uploads the Paper jar
• Publish to Modrinth uploads the Paper jar

After publish

• GitHub release page lists the jar + .sha256
• Hangar version page is live
• Modrinth version page is live
• Update docs/index.md version-targets table to the next planned version
