Motivation

Releases are drafted from this repo but published from a separate central workflow. This moves publishing here: merging the release PR publishes the package and the drafted release once a maintainer approves it.

Changes

• Add a Release workflow that runs when CHANGELOG.md changes on main, with a manual run and a dry run as a fallback
• It runs when the top CHANGELOG.md version has no published release, so ordinary changelog edits are skipped; the draft release is checked after approval
• The tests run and the tarball is packed with npm pack without any publishing rights; the build fails if the package.json version doesn't match CHANGELOG.md
• Publishing waits for approval on the release environment, then publishes that tarball to npm through trusted publishing (no token stored). Publishing a tarball runs no package scripts
• The draft release is pinned to the merged commit before it is published, so the tag lands on what was built

Before merging

• Switch the mailtrap trusted publisher on npm to this repo, workflow release.yml, environment release (npm allows one per package, so the current publisher stops working)

How to test

• Run the Release workflow manually with dry_run checked: detect and build pass, the package artifact holds the tarball, Publish is skipped
• Merge the next release PR and approve the release deployment: the version is on npm with provenance, and the release is published with its tag on the merge commit

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Releases verify that the package version matches the changelog and run tests before publication. Published packages are also available as GitHub releases.
  • Release runs can be previewed without publishing. Changes without a pending release do not produce a new package.
  • Releases can be started manually or triggered by changelog updates on the default branch. A manual release is blocked if the changelog version has already been released.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds a GitHub Actions release workflow. It detects pending releases, builds and tests the package, and publishes it to npm and GitHub unless dry-run mode is selected. The package repository field now uses an object with a Git type and repository URL.

Changes: Release workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Trigger and release detection .github/workflows/release.yml	The workflow runs on qualifying main changelog changes or manual dispatch. It checks the default branch and handles pending-release conditions by proceeding, skipping, or failing.
Package validation and build package.json, .github/workflows/release.yml	The package repository field changes to an object with a Git type and repository URL. The build job checks the package version against the detected changelog version, installs dependencies, runs tests, packs the package, and uploads the tarball.
Release publication .github/workflows/release.yml	When dry-run mode is disabled, the release job downloads the tarball, checks npm and GitHub releases, and publishes to both destinations. The job grants contents-write and OIDC-token permissions.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review bba86

The release workflow may not detect a draft release until the shared resolver change lands, and it runs unpinned external actions with publish permissions. If the GitHub publish step fails after npm publication, the release must be finished by hand. Confirm the detection behavior and decide on the other two risks before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Add release workflow" matches the main change. The PR adds .github/workflows/release.yml, which runs on CHANGELOG.md changes on main, tests and packs the package, and publishes to npm and GitHub releases after approval. The title is short, specific, and accurate. The package.json repository field change is minor and not covered by the title, which is expected.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Motivation, Changes, and How to test sections, and the Before merging section is extra. It explains the release workflow, the version check, the approval gate, and the pinning of the draft release. The Images and GIFs section is missing, but that section fits a UI change and this change has no UI, so it is not critical. The How to test items are unchecked because the author has not yet run them, and the author states this. The Before merging step, switching the npm trusted publisher, is a required action that the description states clearly.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 26: Update the detect job’s permissions so it has contents: write and can
list draft releases. Keep the build job’s contents permission read-only.
- Line 50: Update the four external action references in the release workflow,
including the resolve-pending-release action, to use reviewed immutable commit
SHAs instead of mutable refs such as master. Preserve the existing action
versions and workflow behavior.
- Line 132: Update the release workflow around check-sdk-npm-release to support
retrying a partial release: verify that the already-published npm artifact
matches the intended artifact, then skip npm publication and continue GitHub
publication; fail if identity cannot be verified or does not match. Use a
supported recovery mechanism and preserve the existing publication checks rather
than treating any existing version as sufficient.
