docs/releasing.md sections 9-10 and one Principles bullet still described the release trigger as a tag push (git push origin refs/tags/$VERSION, "the tag-triggered Release workflow"). That has been stale since .github/workflows/release.yml moved to on: repository_dispatch only. This updates those sections to describe the actual flow: pushing the signed tag does not start anything; a repository_dispatch event of type release does, GitHub always loads the workflow from the default branch (never the tag), and the workflow's tag-policy gate re-verifies the pushed tag (annotated, GitHub-verified signature, targets the payload commit) before anything else runs. It also documents TAG_SIGNED_RELEASES in scripts/verify-release-artifact.sh: only the closed set of releases published before this change (v1.0.2) verify against the pushed-tag signing identity; every later release verifies only against the default-branch identity. No other stale tag-push-trigger language remains in the file (checked with grep).

Prose was written to pass scripts/check-doc-language.sh against the existing policy/doc-language-baseline.tsv baseline with no new rows added; the checker exits 0 on this branch.

Second deliverable, not a file change: this PR also documents that the live release GitHub environment was audited against the hosted-controls validator (internal/metadatautil/hostedcontrols.go) and found already compliant, so no live change was needed. gh api repos/omkhar/workcell/environments/release shows can_admins_bypass=false and deployment_branch_policy={protected_branches:false, custom_branch_policies:true}, and gh api repos/omkhar/workcell/environments/release/deployment-branch-policies shows exactly one policy, {"name":"v*","type":"tag"}, with no branch-type policies — matching policy/github-hosted-controls.toml's [workflow_environment.release] (deployment_tags = ["v*"], allow_admin_bypass = false) exactly. The full live cross-check, scripts/verify-github-hosted-controls.sh omkhar/workcell, exits 0 against the live repo.
