-## Creating a release
-Use the action "Tag and Build Release" with the version (ex `0.5.3`) to create a new release on github. It will

-  - all `sigstore-java` artifacts
-  - a slsa attesation for the release build

-- signs *everything* with gpg to satisfy maven central
-- bundles all the files into `sigstore-java-0.5.3-bundle.jar`
