I just had to use this like so:
```
./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release --publish-alpha --emergency-version-override 0.43.0-alpha.10
```
because the build for `0.43.0-alpha.9` failed:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/18167317356
No more picking out version numbers by hand! Now we let the script do
it:
```
$ ./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release --dry-run --publish-alpha
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases/latest
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases?per_page=100
Publishing version 0.31.0-alpha.3
$ ./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release --dry-run --publish-release
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases/latest
Publishing version 0.31.0
```

This script attempts to verify that:
- You have no local, uncommitted changes.
- You are on `main`
- The commit you are on exists on `main` also exists on the origin
`https://github.com/openai/codex`, i.e., it is not just a commit you
have pushed to your local version of `main`
As part of this, try to print better error message if/when these
conditions are violated.
Looking at existing releases such as
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/codex-rs-b289c9207090b2e27494545d7b5404e063bd86f3-1-rust-v0.1.0-alpha.4,
the `.tar.gz` for the source code still seems to have `0.0.0` as the
`version` in `codex-rs/Cargo.toml` instead of what the tag seems to say
it should have:
b289c92070/codex-rs/Cargo.toml (L21)
ChatGPT claims:
> When GitHub generates the Source code (tar.gz) archive for a tag:
• It uses the commit the tag points to.
• But in some cases (e.g., shallow clones, GitHub CI, or local tools
that only clone the default branch), that commit may not be included,
and you might get an outdated view or nothing at all depending on how
it’s fetched.
Trying this recommended fix.
For now, keep things simple such that we never update the `version` in
the `Cargo.toml` for the workspace root on the `main` branch. Instead,
create a new branch for a release, push one commit that updates the
`version`, and then tag that branch to kick off a release.
To test, I ran this script and created this release job:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/14762580641
