* Initial plan
* fix: guard docker job and add tag validation in docker.yml
- Add `&& needs.publish.outputs.vtag != ''` to the `docker` job's
`if:` in release-candidate.yml so it is skipped when publish
produces no vtag, preventing an opaque buildx "tag is needed" error.
- Add an early "Validate tag input" step in docker.yml that fails fast
with a clear ::error:: message when inputs.tag is empty, covering
direct workflow_call invocations that bypass the release-candidate
guard.

* fix: scope docker.yml tag validation to workflow_call only
Direct tag-push triggers (on: push, tags: v*) populate the tag from
GITHUB_REF and have inputs.tag empty, so the unconditional validation
step would fail every direct tag-push run. Restrict the new step to
workflow_call invocations, which is the only path where an empty tag
is actually a problem.

* ci: standardize workflow concurrency and automate release-note labeling
Concurrency — prevent racing CI jobs
- Every top-level workflow now declares an explicit concurrency block.
- PR runs cancel-in-progress on supersede; main/push/workflow_call/publish
runs queue instead of cancelling so every commit and every release is
validated end-to-end.
- ci.yml uses a literal `CI-` prefix (not `${{ github.workflow }}`) and a
per-run nested group for workflow_call invocations, avoiding a potential
deadlock with publish.yml and release-candidate.yml callers whose own
concurrency groups could otherwise collide with the called workflow.
- ci-report.yml falls back to `<head-repo>/<head-branch>` for fork PRs
(stable across reruns) instead of the per-run-unique workflow_run.id
which did not actually serialize anything.
- ci-quality.yml enforces the convention: fails CI if any non-reusable
workflow lacks a concurrency block or a reusable workflow declares one.
Release-note automation
- New pr-labeler.yml: amannn/action-semantic-pull-request enforces
conventional-commit PR titles on pull_request (fork-safe, read-only);
release-drafter/release-drafter with disable-releaser: true applies the
matching label under pull_request_target (write-scoped). sync-labels in
.github/release-drafter.yml removes managed autolabels that no longer
match (e.g. when `!` or `BREAKING CHANGE:` is dropped from a PR).
- .github/release.yml (unchanged) continues to map labels to categorized
release-notes sections.
- dependabot.yml added for the github-actions ecosystem so pinned SHAs
auto-refresh on a weekly cadence.
Docs
- CONTRIBUTING.md documents the concurrency convention, the
conventional-commit PR-title rules, and the reusable-workflow exception.
Follow-up to verify before relying on the labeler in anger
- gh api repos/amannn/action-semantic-pull-request/git/refs/tags/v5.5.3
- gh api repos/release-drafter/release-drafter/git/refs/tags/v6.0.0
- Confirm release-drafter reads its config from the base ref (not fork
head) when invoked via pull_request_target.
* ci: address PR review feedback on concurrency and labeler workflows
Two blocking fixes
- pr-labeler.yml: separate concurrency slots for pull_request and
pull_request_target. Previously both triggers shared a single group
with cancel-in-progress: true, so the privileged autolabel run could
cancel the title-validation check mid-run and leave a required status
in a permanent cancelled state.
- pr-labeler.yml autolabel job: add contents: read. release-drafter's
context.config() reads .github/release-drafter.yml from the default
branch via the repo-contents API and 403s without the scope. Job-level
permissions nullify all unlisted scopes so an explicit grant is needed.
Two non-blocking improvements
- Replace the hardcoded reusable-workflow allowlist in ci-quality.yml
with dynamic on:-block parsing. New workflow_call-only workflows no
longer produce false-positive convention failures.
- Implement actual group-key validation. The check now also asserts that
every concurrency.group expression references either ${{ github.workflow }}
or the literal CI- prefix (the documented ci.yml exception).
- Script extracted to .github/scripts/check-workflow-concurrency.py so
it is runnable locally and independently testable.
* feat(ci): add release-candidate publish pipeline
Auto-publishes gitnexus@rc on every merge to main. Version scheme is
canonical semver X.Y.Z-rc.N where the base is the current npm 'latest'
bumped by the 'bump' input (default patch) and N auto-increments by
querying existing rc versions on the registry. First rc for a new base
is rc.1; the counter resets naturally when the base advances after a
stable release.
- Reuses ci.yml via workflow_call so tests must pass before publish
- SHA-pinned actions, per-job permission scoping, provenance enabled
- Guard job dedupes duplicate dispatches against HEAD via v*-rc.* tags
- Docs-only pushes skipped via paths-ignore
- workflow_dispatch inputs: bump (patch/minor/major), force (override guard)
- Publishes under the 'rc' dist-tag so 'latest' is never moved
- Tags commits as v<rc-version> and creates GitHub prereleases
* fix(ci): address release-candidate review feedback
- Sort rc tags by creatordate (handles out-of-order pushes correctly)
- Fail fast on npm registry errors; only fall back to package.json on E404
- Drop unused pull-requests: write permission on the reused CI job
- Add secrets: inherit so any future CI secrets are available to sub-jobs
- Remove unused reltag step output
* fix(ci): address Copilot review comments
- Correct concurrency comment (runs serialize on same ref, not overlap)
- Apply E404-only fallback to 'npm view versions' query, matching the
pattern used for the 'npm view version' query
- README: clarify that docs-only merges don't trigger rc publish
- CONTRIBUTING: drop 'from main' claim for publish.yml; the tag-push
trigger does not enforce branch reachability
* fix(ci): address adversarial review — idempotency, cycle continuity, tag integrity
Codex adversarial review flagged three release-safety issues in the rc
pipeline. Fixes:
1. Cycle continuity (H). Non-patch rc trains no longer collapse back to
patch on the next push. 'bump' input accepts a new 'auto' value
(default) that infers the active rc base from the registry: if any
X.Y.Z-rc.* exists with X.Y.Z > latest, continue that base; otherwise
patch-bump. Explicit patch/minor/major still forces a cycle reset and
now also bypasses the dedup guard so an explicit dispatch on a
tagged HEAD is honored.
2. Idempotency across post-publish failures (H). The guard marker
('rc/<HEAD_SHA>' lightweight tag) and the release tag ('v<RC>'
annotated) are now pushed atomically *before* 'npm publish'. A
publish failure leaves the marker in place and the guard refuses to
re-publish. Added a defensive 'npm view <pkg>@<rc> version' check
before publish to catch registry-level races. Recovery path
documented in CONTRIBUTING.md.
3. Tag ↔ package integrity (M). 'v<RC>' now points at a detached
release commit whose tree contains the rewritten package.json, so
the tag's source archive matches the npm tarball exactly. 'main'
stays pristine; the release commit is reachable only via the tag.
* fix(ci): surface registry errors on defensive version check; drop actions: read
- npm view <pkg>@<rc> version now distinguishes E404 (safe) from network
failures (abort) via the same mktemp+grep pattern used for the other
two npm view calls
- Dropped actions: read on the ci workflow_call — no sub-workflow uses
the Actions API
