Description

Hi 👋

My cargo dependencies occasionally break in various ways. While investigating, I noticed the `v1.1.3` tag got repointed to a newer commit:
* Previous one: https://github.com/apache/incubator-teaclave-sgx-sdk/commit/254368badb9eb2d4cdab631a34e234bf6e54e585

* Current one: https://github.com/apache/incubator-teaclave-sgx-sdk/commit/a6a172e652b4db4eaa17e4faa078fda8922abdd0

Is this intentional? In my understanding, it's generally assumed that tags, once created, do not change.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the v1.1.3 tag history and comparing the two commits linked in the issue, then check how Cargo dependencies reference that tag. Done means establishing whether the tag was intentionally repointed and documenting the confirmed cause or required release-process correction.
