release-package

name: release-package description: Automate the webcode release workflow. Use when the user asks to publish or release a new webcode package/version, says "发新的包", "发布新版本", "打版本", "发版", "release a new package", or asks to bump versions, generate changelog entries, commit, tag, and push so the tag-triggered GitHub Actions release workflow can publish artifacts.

Release Package

Workflow

Follow this sequence end-to-end unless the user explicitly asks to stop earlier.

1. Resolve the target version.

   • If the user provides a version, use it.
   • If not, infer the next patch version from the highest local semver tag or current release package version, then state the assumption before editing.
   • Use bare semver tags like 0.6.3, matching this repository's existing tag convention. Do not use v0.6.3 unless the user explicitly requests it.

2. Run preflight checks.

   • Check git status --short; stop and ask if unrelated changes are present.
   • Check whether the target tag already exists with git tag --list <version>; never overwrite or move an existing release tag.
   • Identify the previous release tag with git tag --list --sort=-v:refname.

3. Update release versions.

   • Update gateway-vscode/package.json.
   • Update bridge-browser/package.json.
   • Update bridge-browser/manifest.json.
   • Do not change the root package.json or shared/package.json versions unless the user explicitly asks; those are not release artifact versions in this repo.

4. Generate changelog entries.

   • Treat commit history as source material, not the changelog structure.
   • Review git log --oneline <previous-tag>..HEAD, plus any current release-version edits if relevant.
   • Group commits by merged PR first, then by coherent standalone topic for commits not tied to a PR.
   • Use merge commit and PR wording to identify the intended final outcome when available.
   • For each PR or topic, describe the final user-visible behavior after all follow-up commits in the range.
   • Collapse intermediate fixes, hardening, logging, and edge-case commits into the feature or fix they refine.
   • Prefer one changelog bullet or short paragraph per PR or coherent topic.
   • Split a PR into multiple entries only when it contains separate user-facing outcomes.
   • Do not list implementation chronology or transient states that were later changed in the same release range.
   • Mention implementation details only when they explain a user-visible capability, compatibility change, or operational requirement.
   • Add new version files at changelogs/en/v<version>.md and changelogs/zh/v<version>.md.
   • Start each file with # v<version> (YYYY-MM-DD), followed by the release notes body.
   • Keep English and Chinese content semantically aligned.
   • Group entries by user-facing categories such as Features, Improvements, Fixes, and Engineering. Do not paste raw commit logs.
   • When a changelog entry summarizes work merged through one or more pull requests, append the PR number(s), such as (#16) or (#16, #20). Use merge commits in the release range to identify PR numbers.
   • When a PR description, merge commit, or commit message clearly indicates that an issue was closed, fixed, or resolved, include the issue reference alongside the PR number, such as (#16, closes #12). Do not infer issue links without explicit evidence.

5. Ask the user to review the changelog.

   • Show the generated English and Chinese changelog summaries to the user, or point them to the exact files if the content is long.
   • Stop after writing the changelog and wait for the user to explicitly say to continue before running validation, committing, tagging, or pushing.
   • If the user requests changelog changes, update the changelog files and ask for review again.

6. Validate before tagging.

   • Run pnpm lint.
   • Run pnpm --filter bridge-browser run build.
   • When feasible for a release, run the platform release build to verify both .vsix and browser .zip artifacts are produced:
     • On Windows/PowerShell, run .\build_release.ps1.
     • In non-interactive Windows shells, set $env:CI='true' before running .\build_release.ps1 so pnpm install will not require a TTY.
     • On macOS/Linux, or Git Bash environments with zip available, run ./build_release.sh.
   • If any validation fails, fix it or report the blocker. Do not commit, tag, or push a failed release.

7. Commit the release changes.

   • Confirm the diff contains only intended release changes, such as version, changelog, or explicitly requested release workflow updates.
   • Commit with chore: release <version>.

8. Tag and push.

   • Create the tag on the release commit: git tag <version>.
   • Push the branch and tag: git push origin main and git push origin <version>.
   • The tag push triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds release artifacts and creates or updates the GitHub Release using bilingual notes read from changelogs/en/v<version>.md and changelogs/zh/v<version>.md.

Safety Rules

• Do not create or push a tag if either changelogs/en/v<version>.md or changelogs/zh/v<version>.md is missing or empty.
• Do not push if the working tree is dirty after the release commit.
• Do not amend or force-push release commits or tags unless the user explicitly instructs it.
• If a tag was pushed before the release workflow existed, use the Release workflow's manual dispatch with the existing tag instead of recreating the tag.
