Summary

  • The release steps in CONTRIBUTING.md used a bare git tag vX.Y.Z, but the actual release command needs to be an annotated tag (git tag -a) to carry a message.
  • git tag -a always opens an editor unless -m/-F is passed (confirmed in the git-tag docs), so the docs now show git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z" to avoid that prompt.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change; no functional testing needed.

Use 'git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"' instead of a bare annotated tag,
since git tag -a always opens an editor unless -m or -F is given.

Changes:

  • Replace the bare git tag vX.Y.Z example with an annotated tag command.
