 # Workflow: Release and publish artifacts to Maven Central
 # Purpose: Builds, signs, and publishes Maven artifacts to Sonatype OSSRH, then tags the released version.
 # Prerequisites: pom.xml must be on a *-SNAPSHOT version; We need to change logic for non-SNAPSHOT versions.
-# Notes: Adjust version computation logic if patch releases are desired instead of minor bumps (e.g., 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT to 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT).
+# Notes:
+#   - release/* branches: major version increment (e.g., 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
+#   - hotfix/* branches: minor version increment (e.g., 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT to 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT)
+# Adjust version computation logic if patch releases are desired instead of minor bumps (e.g., 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT to 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT).
