checks on ``main`` for the same reason: merging on red stays possible for a
maintainer, but never by accident.

Check ``SO3_KERNEL_VERSION_FALLBACK`` too: it must already read the version
being tagged, since the tagged tree is what a gitless build banners. It
appears twice in this page on purpose — bump it **in the release commit set**
so the tag is right, and again when propagating to ``main`` so the next
release does not start a version behind (``main`` sat at ``6.2.4`` while
``release/v6.2`` was at ``6.2.5``).
