Align the artifact naming instruction with the workflow contract.

The existing release workflow groups release-assets, release-checksums, release-binaries, release-signature, and release-provenance results under assurance-release-${{ matrix.platform.os }}. It does not upload one artifact named assurance-<id> for each check.

Document that results must be uploaded in an assurance-* artifact consumed by later jobs, or standardize all workflows on per-check artifact names.

Separate the release tag from the asset version.

The text says to replace VERSION with a tag such as v0.2.0. Release asset filenames use 0.2.0 without the leading v, as shown by GITHUB_REF_NAME#v in the release workflow.

Document separate TAG and VERSION values, or remove the v before substituting into asset and package filenames.

A file over the read limit is reported as a checksum mismatch.

hashFile hashes at most maxAssetBytes. If an asset exceeds that limit, the digest covers only the prefix, and VerifyChecksums classifies the asset as mismatched. The report then states that the hash does not match, which hides the real cause. Compare the copied byte count against the limit and return an explicit "exceeds the read limit" error.

The rebase-retry loop can leave the repository mid-rebase.

If git rebase origin/main hits a conflict, the loop continues with the working tree in a rebase state. The next git push then pushes the wrong ref or fails again, and the step ends with the generic error on line 528. Abort the rebase on conflict so the failure message names the real cause.

Log replay depends on gotest succeeding.

The test step now discards stdout and writes only to ${RUNNER_TEMP}/smoke.jsonl. The readable log exists only if the Summarise this slice step runs gotest --echo successfully. If gotest cannot parse the JSONL, the slice failure has no visible test output at all, which makes triage harder.

Add a fallback so the raw output is still visible.

fetchJSON caps the body at exactly 8<<20, which is the same value as maxJobsPayloadBytes in internal/assurance/joburl.go. Two consequences follow. The size check in MatchJobURL can never trigger, and an oversized response is silently truncated into a decode error.
