Overview
The release pipeline Main (main.yml) and its subroutines defined in the other yamls form a high-level
description for the underlying self-hosted build system in /docker. In other words, this is a sort of
terminal, a "thin-client" with a display and a keyboard for our docker mainframe. We minimize
vendor-lockin and duplication with other services by limiting everything here to only what is
essential for driving the docker builder.
Though we slightly relax the above by specifying details of the actual CI pipeline, the control-flow logic to go from some input event to some output or release here. This gives us better integration with github, like granular progress indications by breaking up operations as individual jobs and workflows within the pipeline. This means we'll have duplicate logic with other services, but only as it relates to high-level control flow.
