In addons/build.gradle (or ime/build.gradle), bump minor and update patchOffset by appending -<last_patch_number_of_previous_release> to reset the patch counter.
In .github/workflows/deployment_promote.yml, update refname in the matrix strategy to point to the new release branch.
Submit a PR with these updates targeting the new release-branch-... base branch.
