Research direction

Start with the linked Cargo.toml at v0.2.6, line 34, and compare its version with the v1.2.6 tag and the intended release commit. Check how the package version is set for releases; done means the tag points to a commit that produces version 1.2.6 rather than 1.2.5+dev.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The git tag for v1.2.6 uses the wrong commit, and the resulting package will have the 1.2.5+dev version.
