Conversation
release-generic.yml was only run once (failed) and has been superseded by create-release.sh plus tag-triggered publish workflows. Remove the workflow and sync docs and script references.

For sdks/sandbox/go releases, clearing this hint while deleting release-generic.yml leaves the still-supported target with no hosted workflow: docs/community/release-automation.md still lists sdks/sandbox/go, but a repo-wide check of .github/workflows shows no on.push.tags pattern matching sdks/sandbox/go/v*. When a release manager runs create-release.sh --target sdks/sandbox/go --push, the tag and GitHub Release can be created, but no workflow runs release-preflight or publishes/signs the Go release evidence that the deleted Generic Release workflow used to provide. Please either add a Go tag-driven workflow or remove/clearly exempt this target from the supported release path.

Summary
release-generic.yml(Generic Release) has run exactly once since it was added (2026-03-24) and that run failed. Release operations have since moved toscripts/release/create-release.sh+ tag-triggered publish workflows, so this hosted workflow is dead code.Changes
