Pull request overview
This PR updates the GitHub Actions CI workflows to ensure setuptools-scm can correctly derive the project version from git tags by making actions/checkout fetch the full repository history (including tags). This addresses incorrect/stale versioning during builds/publishing when the default shallow checkout (depth=1) omits tag history.
Changes:
- Configure
actions/checkoutwithfetch-depth: 0in the publish workflow so release builds have full tag history available. - Configure
actions/checkoutwithfetch-depth: 0in the package/test workflow to keep version resolution consistent during CI installs/build steps.

setuptools-scmderives the package version from git tags, butactions/checkoutdefaults todepth=1which strips tags. This caused the publish workflow to build with a stale version (0.9.2 instead of 0.10.0).fetch-depth: 0to checkout inpython-publish.ymlandpython-package.ymlso the full tag history is available tosetuptools-scmAfter merge, re-create the GitHub Release from the
v0.10.0tag to trigger a correct publish.
