ci: release-PR model with an editable changelog - #66
Conversation
CHANGELOG.md renders into the manifest per channel; packages ship as GitHub release assets; one caller replaces the four release workflows.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR replaces manual release workflows with reusable release orchestration. CI validates branch-specific metadata and package output. The package builder now requires explicit version, branch, and output options. The changelog and package download URL are updated. ChangesRelease pipeline migration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The release migration is not ready to merge because the pinned helper may not satisfy the expected workflow contracts, and CI leaves workflow credentials accessible to later commands.

Agreed on pinning, but 759c27e is chodeus-ops#15's test-merge commit and disappears once that PR merges. Both refs get pinned to the real merge commit in a follow-up as soon as it lands.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@chodeus, agreed. Do not pin to the temporary test-merge commit.
The finding remains open because both references still use mutable or incompatible main revisions in this PR. After chodeus-ops#15 merges, pin both references to its permanent merge commit in the follow-up.
Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for that follow-up?

official actions/checkout persist-credentials default v7 README
💡 Result:
In actions/checkout version 7, the default value for the persist-credentials input remains true [1][2][3]. While there has been community discussion and open pull requests advocating to change this default to false to improve security [4][5], the official implementation in v7 continues to persist the authentication token in the local git configuration by default to enable scripts to run authenticated git commands [6][7][8]. Users who wish to opt out of this behavior must explicitly set persist-credentials to false in their workflow configuration [6][7][8].

Disable credential persistence on both checkouts.
Both actions/checkout steps default to persist-credentials: true. They store GITHUB_TOKEN in .git/config and .ops/.git/config, which subsequent repository-controlled commands can read. Set persist-credentials: false on both checkouts.

Moves this plugin to the release-PR model from chodeus/chodeus-ops#15.
CHANGELOG.mdis now the changelog to edit; the release job renders it into the manifest<CHANGES>block per channel, so beta-marked sections never reachmain. All 140 historical blocks migrated; rendering back is byte-identical apart from one doubled blank line collapsed in the 2024.04.30 block.releases/download/v<version>/…) instead of a committedarchive/. The asset for the current 2026.08.28 already exists with the manifest's md5, so nothing changes for installed users.archive/goes after the first stable under the new flow.pkg_build.shtakes--version/--branchfrom the workflow and writesdist/; the date, beta-increment and collision-suffix logic is gone, along with the archive URL rewrite.betatoo (the required check was unsatisfiable there before) and replaces the rebuild-then-compare md5 step with a check thatCHANGELOG.mdrenders to the committed block, pluginURL names the branch, and the manifest md5 matches the package actually served.release.ymlcaller replaces the dispatcher and the three release workflows. The stable release PR is the beta→main promotion itself; after a stable, the bot merges main back into beta keeping beta's manifest.CI's check step fetches the helper from chodeus-ops
