-(for `v*` tags), commit SHA, and `latest` on the default branch.
+
+The published image is `<gitea-host>/<owner>/<repo>`. Releases are derived from
+[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). On each push to
+`main`, the workflow inspects the commits since the last `v*` tag and computes
+the next version:
+
+- `feat:` → minor bump,
+- `fix:` / `perf:` → patch bump,
+- `!` or `BREAKING CHANGE` → major bump,
+- anything else (`chore`, `ci`, `docs`, `build`) → no release.
+
+When a release is warranted, the image is published with `X.Y.Z`, `X.Y`, `X` and
+`latest` tags, and the workflow records an annotated `vX.Y.Z` git tag so the next
+release is computed from it. Pushes to `main` that warrant no release are
+published under a `sha-<short>` tag only, so `latest` always points at the most
+recent release rather than the newest commit.
+
+Recording the release tag requires the workflow's `contents: write` permission;
+if the instance forbids the automatic token from pushing, supply a PAT with
+repository write scope and push the tag with it instead.
