Expands the README's Hotfixing an already-shipped version section into a numbered, copy-pasteable walkthrough for the re-cut-from-tag flow (the option the team preferred):

  1. Land the fix on main first (note the squash SHA).
  2. Cut release branch with from: v1.4.0 to recreate the branch at the exact tag snapshot.
  3. Cherry-pick the fix onto a topic branch → backport PR onto the recreated branch.
  4. Merge the auto-opened 1.4.1 release PR.
  5. Merge-back self-skips when main is already ahead (forward-only gate).

Docs only — no workflow or config changes.
