Research direction

Start by reading the linked GitHub changelog about immutable releases and tracing this plugin’s release-creation process. Check whether repository- or organization-level immutability changes the plugin’s current assumptions or behavior. Done means recording a clear compatibility conclusion and identifying any required follow-up change or tests.

Description

new github feature in public preview that we should prepare to be compatible with. i don't know that this is something that directly relates to our process of creating the release since it is more of a setting of how releases are defined when created at the repo/org level, but we should confirm that there are no surprises with this.
