Description

Even if we put #73 in place, we could tag or create release branches so that downstream "uses" of swift_package_test.yml specify a constant semvar version instead of always working off of main which is more susceptible to breaking.

For example: swiftlang/github-workflows/.github/workflows/swift_package_test.yml@v1.2.3

Looks possible to automate with certain marketplace actions like https://github.com/marketplace/actions/tag-release-on-push-action, but manually bumping as need may be sufficient

Research direction

Start by reviewing .github/workflows/swift_package_test.yml and the related approach proposed in issue #73. Decide whether release tags or release branches best provide constant semver references, then verify that downstream uses can target a version such as v1.2.3 and that the chosen versioning process is documented.
