         * branch: `release/v1.3.0`

+    4. Update versions [versions.go](../internal/versions/versions.go#L33-L36) to `v1.3.0` and **push your changes**.
     5. Create a [production coreOS image](/.github/workflows/build-coreos.yml)
-    6. Update [default images in config](/internal/config/config.go)
+        ```sh
+        gh workflow run build-coreos.yml --ref release/v1.3.0 -F debug=false -F coreOSConfigBranch=constellation

     7. Merge this branch back to `main`
 3. Run E2E to confirm stability and [generate measurements](/.github/workflows/e2e-test-manual.yml)
 4. Create a new tag in `constellation` on `main`
