The note here says the GitHub Release triggers downstream workflows, but earlier in this same file the header comment says the tag push triggers docker/helm workflows (via on: push: tags: ["v*"]). These comments contradict the actual setup (release-ui.yml triggers on release: published). Please update the surrounding documentation so it consistently reflects the real trigger path (Release published -> release-ui.yml -> workflow_call jobs).
