1. `version`: The base version number you are releasing (e.g., `2.4.0`).
2. `channel`: The release channel you are targeting (`internal`, `closed`, `open`, or `production`).
- **Automation:** The workflow handles everything automatically:
- Calculates the correct Git tag based on the channel (e.g., `v2.4.0-internal.1` or `v2.4.0`).
- Pushes the new tag to the repository.
- Calls a reusable workflow that builds the app, deploys it to the correct Google Play track, and attaches the artifacts (`.aab`/`.apk`) to a GitHub Release.
- **Syncs Assets:** Fetches the latest firmware/hardware lists, protobuf definitions, and translations (Crowdin).
- **Generates Changelog:** Creates a clean changelog from commits since the last production release and commits it to the repo.
- **Updates Config:** Automatically bumps the `VERSION_NAME_BASE` in `config.properties`.
- **Verifies & Tags:** Runs lint checks, builds the app, and *only* tags the release if successful.
- **Deploys:** Uploads the build to the correct Google Play track and attaches artifacts (`.aab`/`.apk`) to a GitHub Release.
- **Changelog:** Release notes are auto-generated from PR labels. Ensure PRs are labeled correctly to maintain an accurate changelog.

5. Select the `internal` channel.
6. Click **"Run workflow"**.
The workflow will create an incremental internal tag (e.g., `v2.4.0-internal.1`) and publish a **draft** pre-release on GitHub.
The workflow will:
1. **Create a new commit** on the current branch containing updated assets, translations, and the new changelog.
2. **Tag** that commit with an incremental internal tag (e.g., `v2.4.0-internal.1`).
3. **Build & Deploy** the verified artifact to the Play Store Internal track.
4. Publish a **draft** pre-release on GitHub.
### 2. Promote to the Next Channel
