# DISABLED: This workflow dispatches to vercel/front (cross-repo) which
# requires a GitHub App token. The Release App has been temporarily
# removed, so this workflow is disabled (all jobs gated on `if: false`)
# until the App is restored. See .github/workflows/release.yml and
# .github/workflows/backport.yml, which have also been updated to no
# longer rely on the Release App.

With the current if: false && ... gating, this workflow will still trigger on every matching pull_request event and create a run that immediately skips both jobs. If the intent is to fully disable it while the App is removed, consider disabling the triggers (e.g., temporarily switch on: to workflow_dispatch only, or comment out the pull_request trigger) to avoid noisy skipped runs and unnecessary Actions usage.
