2.4 Add Release Source / Storage

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Release source and storage setup

Release storage edit and upload flow

Release Sources define where deployment artifacts come from. Start with one source that is easy to verify.

Option A: GitHub/GitLab release source

Create source entry with repo/service settings.
Test tag loading from source.
Confirm release metadata and asset list are returned.

Option B: Internal Release Storage

Create storage.
Upload a test artifact.
Confirm downloadable URL and checksum visibility.

Why this matters:

Orbnetes is optimized for build once, deploy many.
Source selection at release time makes deployment deterministic.

Validation:

Source tags are listed in Release create page.
Selecting tag shows release files/assets.
Chosen file is passed to runtime as ORBN_RELEASE_FILE.
