+# FastPathRouter's own POM keeps `1.1.0` as its committed version — that's what local
+# `mvn install` (Flash's normal dev loop, see its pom.xml `fpr-core` dependency comment)
+# always produces, and changing it here would break that. Gitea's Maven registry, unlike a
+# real snapshot repository, refuses to re-publish an existing name+version (must delete
+# first — see https://docs.gitea.com/usage/packages/maven#publish-a-package), so every push
+# instead publishes under a throwaway version stamped with the commit it built from
+# (`1.1.0-<short-sha>`), via `versions:set` on a checkout copy — never touching the
+# committed POMs. Consumers (Flash5's pom.xml) pin `fpr-core`'s version to one specific
+# published build and bump it by hand to pick up newer FastPathRouter changes — same
+# precedent as Flash5's own publish-maven.yml, which this workflow otherwise mirrors exactly.
