📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow detects publication state, prepares release files through a semantic-release dry run, manages a release pull request, and resumes missing tag, npm, or GitHub release steps.

Changes

Release Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release state detection and workflow setup
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow runs on pushes to main, serializes runs, grants pull-request write permission, uses Node.js 22, disables persisted checkout credentials, and checks tag, npm, and GitHub release state.
Dry-run release preparation
.github/workflows/release.yml, scripts/prepare-release.mjs
The preparation script calculates the next release, updates package.json and CHANGELOG.md, and reports release outputs to the workflow.
Artifact publication and release pull request
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow publishes only missing artifacts, creates a scoped GitHub App token, force-pushes release/next, and creates or updates the release pull request.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 14db2

The release flow moves publication through a pull request and limits persisted credentials during dependency installation; no unresolved merge-readiness risk is identified.

CodeRabbit catch (CWE-250): the checkout step's default persisted
credential stayed live through npm ci/build/test, so a compromised
dependency's lifecycle script could misuse it to push. This is a
regression from the prior design, which had persist-credentials: false
explicitly. Restores it and re-authenticates in one place, right after
the untrusted npm lifecycle completes, for the git commands (fetch
--tags, the two pushes) that need it.

Reviewed the full diff. This is exactly the fix I was independently converging on (I'd checked the same thing: node-crewhu is private, its "Determine mode" git fetch --tags runs before either of your originally-planned two re-auth points and would've broken without a third site or a single earlier one) -- you got there first and covered it correctly. Confirmed the single re-auth step's placement is right: after "Run tests", before "Determine mode", so it covers the fetch AND both later pushes with one line, and the untrusted npm-lifecycle window (install/build/test) stays entirely before it, which is the actual point of the fix.

Also read through the tri-state artifact check (tag/npm/release each verified independently rather than inferring from the tag alone) -- that's new since my last full pass and it's a real improvement, not scope creep: it correctly makes a partial-failure resume retry only the missing artifacts instead of a stale run reading "tag exists" as "fully done" forever. Each Publish sub-step's if: condition matches its own artifact flag correctly (tag/npm/release), traced through all three.

No issues found. Will wait for your live PREPARE-mode round-trip (fetch --tags + release-PR push both need to actually work under persist-credentials:false) before calling this fully validated, same as you planned -- ping me with that result and I'll consider #82 clear to retrofit onto the 6 merged repos.
