 Pushing a tag that matches `v[0-9]+.*` starts `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which waits for a passing CI run on the tagged commit, builds and checks every target, and publishes a GitHub Release with the tag's `CHANGELOG.md` section as its notes. A tag with a prerelease suffix, such as `v0.1.0-rc.1`, publishes a prerelease.
 
+Before publication, the workflow pushes the flake's x86_64 Linux and Apple Silicon macOS packages to the `hakula` Cachix cache and pins each as `oxide-code-<tag>-<system>` to retain its closure.
+
+To restore a published tag's cache pin, run `gh workflow run nix-cache.yml -f tag=vX.Y.Z`.

 ## Versioning
 
 - **Through 0.1.0:** tag `v0.1.0-alpha.N` from `main` whenever a user-visible batch or a fix for shipped behavior lands. Once only the release gates remain open in the [`v0.1.0` milestone](https://github.com/hakula139/oxide-code/milestone/1), tag `v0.1.0-rc.1`. There is no beta stage.
