Conversation
License data merged to main was not reaching dependents until a tag was cut by hand. Tag automatically on licenses.json changes, with workflow_dispatch for manual releases.

The weekly license update workflow merges new scancode data to main, but dependents only see it once a version tag exists, and tagging was manual.
v0.3.2still predates the latest data update (#29).This adds a workflow that bumps the patch version and tags whenever a push to main touches
licenses.json. The tag is created through the API with the defaultGITHUB_TOKEN, so no credentials are persisted in the checkout. It skips if HEAD is already tagged, andworkflow_dispatchallows cutting a patch release manually (useful for tagging the current untagged data update asv0.3.3once this merges).Code changes are unaffected and still released by hand.
