-    # Convert lightweight tag to annotated tag
-    #
-    # Why this is needed:
-    # - Release-please creates releases via GitHub's release API, which creates lightweight tags
-    # - We require annotated tags because:
-    #   * git describe ignores lightweight tags by default (requires --tags flag)
-    #   * Lightweight tags are not copied into forks
-    #   * Annotated tags have proper metadata (creation date, tagger info, message)
-    #
-    # Why we do this after release creation:
-    # - We can't create the annotated tag before release-please runs because we don't know
-    #   the version number until release-please determines it from conventional commits
-    # - The GitHub release API will use an existing tag if present (per the target_commitish
-    #   parameter docs: "Unused if the Git tag already exists"), but release-please doesn't
-    #   provide a way to hook into the process between version determination and release creation
-    # - Using skip-github-release has known issues and breaks release-please's workflow
-    #   (see: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please/issues/1561)
-    #
-    # Race condition considerations:
-    # - There is a small window (milliseconds) between when the lightweight tag is created
-    #   and when we convert it to annotated where someone could fetch the lightweight tag
-    # - In practice, this risk is acceptable because:
-    #   * Most users interact with releases, not tags directly
-    #   * The window is extremely brief
-    #   * By the time manual tag fetches occur, the annotated version exists
-    #   * The GitHub release points to the correct commit regardless of tag type
-    #
-    # Alternative approaches considered:
-    # - skip-github-release: Breaks release-please (Issue #1561)
-    # - Manual tag creation first: Impossible without knowing version number
-    # - Different release tooling: Would require migrating away from release-please
