 # Must be triggered by a tag push — pub.dev's trusted-publishing OIDC check rejects any
 # other ref type (e.g. workflow_dispatch on a branch), per
 # https://dart.dev/tools/pub/automated-publishing.

+# Inlines dart-lang/setup-dart's reusable publish workflow (rather than calling it via
+# `uses:`) so we can pass --ignore-warnings to `dart pub publish`. Pub's package-layout
+# check always flags our top-level samples/ dir ("rename to example") regardless of
+# whether an example/ dir also exists, and in non-interactive CI any warning otherwise
+# fails the dry run. Keep the steps below in sync with
