The startup line, crash reports and the debug panel now name the release a build is, so a bug report carries it: `benilla build 0.2.0 · b17be27 · 2026-09-27 · release` on a release, `0.2.0+12 · …` twelve commits past its tag.
- `benilla-buildstamp` also stamps `git describe --tags --long --match 'v[0-9]*'` and watches `packed-refs` and `refs/tags`, so a fetched tag restamps without a new commit.
- `BuildId` carries the workspace version and the describe. `release()` reads the version, with `+N` when the describe's tag is that version's; with no tag in reach (a source archive, a shallow clone) or the previous version's tag (the release commit before its tag exists) it reads the version alone.
- The bug template's example line shows the new form.
Checked: the four new `build_id` tests fail with the distance parser broken and pass restored; the describe command in a scratch clone reads empty with no tag, `v0.1.0-443-g…` over a launch tag, `v0.2.0-0-g…` on the release commit, and skips tags that are not `v`-numbered; the build script's output carries the new watches and variable. Gates green on macOS; no platform seam touched.

The issue form asks for what happened, with only that field required, then what 1.12.1 does,
how to see it, and the build line. Blank issues stay open, and questions point to the Discord.
The pull request template asks what changes, the 1.12.1 fact behind it, and how it was checked.
