The common case is an actual release, so flipping the default removes a checkbox the operator had to uncheck every time. The tag self-dispatch already passes dry_run=false explicitly, so it is unaffected.

What
Quick win from DX-2103: flip the
release.ymldry_runinput default fromtruetofalse(Slack thread).Why
The common case for dispatching this workflow is an actual release, so the operator had to uncheck the box every single time. Defaulting to
falsematches intent.Why this is safe
The tag self-dispatch in
.github/scripts/release-workflow.jspassesdry_run=falseexplicitly, so it does not rely on the form default and is unaffected.Changes
.github/workflows/release.yml—dry_rundefaulttrue → falsePart of DX-2103 (quick wins). Independent of the companion
cio-cliPR (#106) —release.ymlis destination-owned (outside the Copybara export globs), so this can be merged in any order with no export run required.
