ci(release): build once with an explicit release version, tag last - #1375
Conversation
…NIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION crates/version derived every version from `git describe` and honoured no override, so a versioned release had to be tagged before it was built — and the tag-push rebuild overwrote the bytes the nightly had smoked. - MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION, when set, wins over `git describe`: a release build on an untagged commit reports the release version verbatim. It must equal package.version or the build fails. The derivation moves to src/scheme.rs, included by build.rs and unit-tested through the crate. - package.version is the declared NEXT release and the base of every dev build (`0.6.0-dev.N.g<sha>`), replacing the guessed patch bump. A build past an rc tag of the declared version extends the tag so ordering survives the rc flow. - scripts/next-version.sh walks the full commit bodies since the last released tag once and emits the bump level (feat -> minor, else patch; breaking changes are detected and rendered first but never bump the major while 0.x — NEXT_VERSION_ALLOW_MAJOR=1 is the GA switch), the next version, and the release notes. - `next-version.sh --check` is the lint: package.version strictly above the newest v* tag and at least what the commits require. Wired as the workspace test crates/common/tests/package_version.rs (self-skips on a shallow, tagless clone) and `just check-version`, part of `just ci`. - assert-release-version.sh also asserts MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION when set. - package.version bumped to 0.6.0: three feat commits since v0.5.4.

stage-release.sh uploaded into versions/<version>/ with a bare `gcloud storage cp`, so re-staging an already-staged version silently replaced artifacts documented as immutable and served with a one-year immutable cache header. The 0.5.4 tag push rewrote the nightly-smoked row that way. - Every upload carries --if-generation-match=0: an existing object fails the copy instead of being overwritten. - The row's `components` manifest is probed before the first upload, so a complete row fails before any of its objects is touched. - --restage (RESTAGE=1) is the explicit, logged opt-in for a deliberate rewrite. --pkg-only adds packages to an existing row by design and skips the probe; each package object is still write-once. - --extra FILE uploads the version-pinned install.sh and the release notes into the row under the same guard, instead of an inline gcloud call in the workflow. - stage-release_test.sh covers all of it over a stubbed gcloud.

…n, tag last The release pipeline's two requirements were mutually exclusive: build before the tag and binaries reported a -dev version; tag before the build and the tag-push lane rebuilt over the bytes the nightly smoked, so the promotion gate could never pass and every promotion overrode it. release.yml - `versioned: true` reads package.version, refuses an already-tagged version, runs the same lint every PR runs, and exports it to every build job as MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION; compute-version-string asserts the built binary reports it. - Release notes from scripts/next-version.sh --notes on every run. - Versioned: the .deb/.rpm/.apk are built from this run's artifacts (package-nfpm.sh ARTIFACTS_DIR mode), attached to a DRAFT GitHub Release v<semver> targeting the commit, and staged as pkg/. - One write-once row per run, versions/<sha>/ or versions/<semver>/, with install.sh and notes.md; `restage` re-runs a failed versioned build. The tag-push trigger is gone: nothing builds from a tag. - The three shipped-artifact smokes move here from nightly.yml (the native one also installs the .deb and checks `min -V`), gated by smoke-success; record-smoked then writes versions/<v>/smoked with the SHA-256 of the live components manifest (scripts/record-smoked.sh). nightly.yml calls release.yml as before and flips `nightly` on success. promote.yml - Input `sha` is now `version` (a semver or a nightly sha). - The gate is scripts/verify-smoked.sh: the row's bytes must be the bytes a release run smoked. Runs on the default path, for nightly and versioned rows alike; override_provenance is back to emergencies. - A stable promotion of a semver calls publish-packages.yml, which publishes the draft release — creating the v<semver> tag, last — then runs the AUR and Homebrew publishers. resolve-release-version.sh and verify-nightly-provenance.sh are retired with their harnesses. ci-linux-native.yml checks out full history + tags so the workspace package_version lint runs for real on every PR.

- Around line 250-279: Update the reference-docs-promoted dispatch in the
promote workflow to resolve the commit SHA associated with the staged version,
then pass that SHA via the existing client_payload[sha] field instead of
VERSION. Preserve the dry-run behavior and event type, and ensure versioned
promotions provide the SHA expected by the webapp contract.
In @.github/workflows/publish-packages.yml:
- Around line 66-74: Update the release output logic around the semver case and
GITHUB_OUTPUT so prerelease versions, including suffixes before build metadata,
export an empty semver while still publishing the GitHub Release. Keep stable
versions exporting the existing semver value so AUR and Homebrew jobs continue
to run only for supported releases.
In `@scripts/next-version.sh`:
- Line 165: Update release-tag selection in scripts/next-version.sh so base_tag
and newest_tag consider only tags accepted by is_semver, excluding malformed
values such as v999-backup and v999backup before comparison. Add
next-version_test.sh coverage confirming both malformed tags are ignored and the
valid release tag is selected.
In `@scripts/stage-release.sh`:
- Around line 352-356: Move the extra-files upload block using EXTRA_FILES and
gcloud storage cp so it runs before the components manifest upload, leaving the
manifest write as the final staging operation.
In `@scripts/verify-smoked.sh`:
- Line 73: Update the promotion flow around the manifest read in
verify-smoked.sh and the channel update in set-channel.sh to prevent
same-version restaging after provenance verification; keep the promoted row
immutable or use a generation-bound operation that atomically covers
verification and channel publication, ensuring the channel can reference only
the exact verified and smoked bytes.

…ease publish, docs sha - stage-release.sh writes the components manifest LAST, after the --extra files, so its presence keeps meaning "complete row" (the write-once probe and the smoke marker both depend on that). - next-version.sh selects the range base and the newest tag only among SemVer tags: `v[0-9]*` alone also matched a `v999-backup` or `v999backup`, which would win the version sort. - publish-packages.yml publishes a prerelease's GitHub Release but exports an empty publisher version, so the AUR and Homebrew jobs (both reject a `-` tail) are skipped instead of failing. - record-smoked.sh records the commit sha in the marker; promote.yml resolves the row's commit (the nightly sha itself, or the marker's sha) and sends THAT as client_payload[sha] to the docs rebuild, whose contract is a commit, not a version.

…n restage - `unstable` advanced from stage-installer, before the smokes had run; it now advances in record-smoked, after smoke-success and the marker. - promote-nightly verifies the row's smoked marker before flipping `nightly`: a no-op night skips `release`, and the existing row may have been staged by a run whose smoke or recording failed. - --restage deletes versions/<V>/smoked before its first upload. The marker digests only the components manifest, and a restage can replace packages, install.sh, or notes without moving it; the restage's own run re-records once its smoke passes. - smoked_test.sh's gcloud stub avoids a negative array subscript (macOS bash 3.2); the harness passes under /bin/bash 3.2.57.

invalidate_smoked swallowed every `gcloud storage rm` failure, so an auth, permission, or transient storage error would leave the stale marker in place under the restaged bytes. Only a confirmed not-found is tolerated now; anything else dies before the first upload, on both the row and the --pkg-only paths. The harness covers not-found (both gcloud spellings), a 403, an auth refresh failure, and a 503.

minimal-review — advisory review
Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.
Scope
Review of PR #1375 (gominimal/minimal), head 1bbbf741 vs base 8e7e72c: the release-pipeline rewrite — versioned builds via MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION, write-once staging (--if-generation-match=0 + components probe + --restage), smoke provenance in versions/<v>/smoked, the verify-smoked promotion gate, and the new reusable publish-packages.yml (tag-last). Only lines changed in .review/pr.diff were reviewed; nothing was built or run (per reviewer constraints). All nine prior review threads are resolved and were not re-raised. .review/learnings.md is empty.
Correctness notes
The version-derivation chain (crates/version/src/scheme.rs, scripts/next-version.sh, package.version = 0.6.0, the MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION == package.version assertion) is unit-tested and reads sound; the SemVer-only tag naming, prerelease detection via ${semver%%+*}, the tag-last ordering (draft Release → smoke → record → promote → publish creates the tag), and the write-once flags on every gcloud cp path were checked and found consistent. Not a finding: the [0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]* case glob in publish-packages.yml would not match a +build suffix, but MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION cannot carry one (SemVer scheme in crates/version/src/scheme.rs constrains it), so it never occurs.
The review's only substantive issue is Finding 1: record-smoked is not gated on inputs.dry_run, so the documented rehearsal path ("Rehearse with versioned: true, dry_run: true", per the PR body) either ends red because nothing was staged, or — when the row already exists — writes the smoke marker and advances unstable, i.e. a dry run that publishes. Finding 2 is the weaker twin of the PR's own extras fix: the new manifest-last invariant is violated one block later by the --pkg-dir upload, exactly the crash-window shape the review moved extras for. Finding 3 (low confidence) is a hard exit 1 in publish-packages when a stable promotion re-points at an already-released version — the documented rollback case — turning a successful pointer flip into a red run.
What couldn't be checked without a build
- The GitHub Actions skip-semantics claim behind Finding 1 (a skipped
needs:dependency counts as success for the dependent) is documented behavior, but no live dry-run dispatch was executed to observe the job graph. gcloudCLI behaviors (probe exit code,storage rmnot-found text) were verified only against the scripts' own error handling and theGCLOUD_STUB_*harness tests (just test-shell), not against real GCS.verify-smoked's live re-hash comparison on real staged bytes, and the AUR/Homebrew publishers end-to-end.- All clippy/fmt/unit-test greening:
cargowas not invoked per the no-build rule; the touched Rust crates' behavior is reasoned from the diff and existing tests.

Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.
Scope
Read the full 5,241-line diff plus every touched product file at head: all five workflows (release.yml, the new publish-packages.yml, promote.yml, nightly.yml, ci-linux-native.yml), the whole scripts/ surface (new next-version.sh, record-smoked.sh, verify-smoked.sh, stage-release_test.sh, smoked_test.sh; rewritten assert-release-version.sh, package-nfpm.sh, stage-release.sh; deleted resolve-release-version.sh / verify-nightly-provenance.sh and their tests), the version crate (scheme.rs + build.rs + tests), package_version.rs, the docs, and the justfile. The diff is internally consistent with the actual tree at head; the extracted line anchors below were re-verified against the files, not taken from the diff. Verification was structural only — no cargo/build/test was run (out of bounds for this review environment), and the gcloud/gh/GitHub-Release behaviors are exercised only through the stubbed harnesses in the PR; any claim that depends on real GCS or Actions semantics is flagged as such below.
Clobber
Clean: the branch history shows this PR as the culmination of the released-version-foundations work (795cfac → 5a64587 → 275a4d6 → 38829e7 → 9067ab6), with the thread-resolved fixes landed in branch commits before merge — no file is being overwritten by unrelated work, and deleted scripts (resolve-release-version.sh, verify-nightly-provenance.sh) are fully replaced by their successors. Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock only remodel the version (0.5.5 → 0.6.0) and the package.version comment.
Correctness — what holds and what could not be checked
The part that changed most since #1313 is coherent: version derivation is unit-tested and the MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION == package.version invariant is enforced both at build time (scheme.rs) and in the job that runs before the expensive builds (assert-version); write-once staging (--if-generation-match=0, components-manifest probe, manifest last) closes the silent re-staging hole; the smoke-provenance marker binds the row's live manifest digest, and verify-smoked runs on the default promote path and on no-op nights. I found two genuine low-severity defects (below).
Things I could not check without a build/network: the real-gcloud semantics of --if-generation-match=0 when gcloud storage cp uploads several files to a directory in one invocation (every _test.sh stubs gcloud and cannot prove this), the actual gh release edit --draft=false tag-creation step, and whether git -c versionsort.suffix=- ordering matches semver_cmp on every git the runners might have. Also not covered by any harness: the .deb install smoke's apt-get install -y "$deb" against the actually-built nfpm artifacts, the versioned draft-create (gh release create --draft --target "$REL_SHA") flow in release.yml, and publish-packages.yml's classification of a promoted version.
One design consequence worth stating, not filing: next-version.sh --check requires package.version to be strictly greater than the newest v* tag, yet a release is cut by promoting a draft tag with no bump commit. Between the promotion and the first post-release PR, main's package.version equals the newest tag, so --check (the package_version workspace test, just check-version) reds on every PR and forces the very next commit to be a bump — the lint's documented discipline, but the tag-created-last flow makes that window start exactly at promotion, with no zero-commit grace. Accept as designed, or bump at cut time.
Everything else I flagged during the read turned out to be handled: the prerelease/prod glob ranges in publish-packages.yml were tested locally (a nightly sha never matches [0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*); the extras/more-than-manifest ordering and the --pkg-only probe-bypass are correct by construction; the unused-but-harmless version field on the smoke marker, the double invalidate_smoked arm's not-found tolerance, and the --restage-after-a-smoked-row flow are all consistent with the docs.
No agent narration or secrets were found in the diff (grepped).
What ran
5 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.
Verification log
1. Read every hunk of .review/pr.diff (sed chunks) and cross-checked the anchors against the tree at head (scripts/stage-release.sh, scripts/next-version.sh). — exit 0 · self-reported
Full read of the 5,241-line diff and the current files; anchored lines 176/373 of stage-release.sh and 169/179/185/331 of next-version.sh confirmed against the working tree.
2. Traced control flow: stage-release.sh --restage --pkg-dir executes upload_pkg_dir's invalidate_smoked AND the main-path one — exit 0 · self-reported
In scripts/stage-release.sh, a full-row --restage run that also passes --pkg-dir calls invalidate_smoked at line 373 and again inside upload_pkg_dir at line 176 (main content at 166-180); the second rm fails with 'matched no objects', which the not-found arm prints as 'was not present (nothing to invalidate)'.
3. Checked git tag scoping: base_tag uses --merged, newest_tag does not (scripts/next-version.sh) — exit 0 · self-reported
Line 179 'semver_tags --merged "$REV"' vs line 185 'semver_tags' (repo-wide); line 331 compares package.version to the repo-wide newest, so any stray v* semver tag on an unmerged branch hard-fails --check.
4. Secrets scan and leftover-narration scan over .review/pr.diff; git log clobber check on every touched file — exit 0 · self-reported
grep for keys/cert/private-key material and for todo/fixme/Claude/Copilot markers returned nothing; git log shows the PR branch as the direct upstream of the current commits, no foreign work.
5. bash glob: publish-packages classification '[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*' against false-positive shas — exit 0 · self-reported
Case test over 0.6.0, 0.6.0-rc1, and several all-numeric/shaped shas confirmed the glob needs literal '.'s, so no nightly sha can be misclassified as a semver - the original concern dropped.

…e repo-wide newest-tag rule stage-release.sh: a --restage that also carries --pkg-dir reached invalidate_smoked twice (the row site, then upload_pkg_dir's), so the second `gcloud storage rm` failed as not-found and logged "was not present" for a marker the same run had just removed. A run-scoped flag makes the second call a no-op; the harness now stages --restage --pkg-dir over a smoked row and asserts one deletion, first, with no absent report. next-version.sh: the strictly-greater check compares package.version against the newest SemVer tag in the whole repository while the range base is scoped to tags reachable from the rev. That asymmetry is deliberate (tags are one namespace; a release must exceed every version ever tagged, or the channel-less publishers ship a downgrade) and is now stated in the comment and pinned by a test: a tag on an unmerged branch is not the range base but does fail --check when it sits above the declared version.

minimal-review — advisory review
Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.
Scope matches the title: build once with an explicit release version, smoke in-run, tag last. Every hunk traces to the three commits (versioning foundations, write-once staging, the frozen-YAML piece), and nothing else moved — Cargo.lock is only the eight workspace 0.5.5→0.6.0 bumps, no dependency changes, no secret material in the diff (gitleaks over the diff, clean). Clobber none: git log on release.yml/nightly.yml shows the recent commits are the PR's own fixes (275a4d6, 38829e7, 9067ab6, 38c5b8c); the deleted resolve-release-version.sh and verify-nightly-provenance.sh have no remaining references anywhere. Correctness I verified the flows that this review's history shows this team cares about, and they hold: the components probe runs before the first upload on a fresh stage, the manifest is the last object written (artifacts→extras→pkg→manifest on the row path), every upload carries --if-generation-match=0 unless --restage, and --restage deletes the smoked marker at its first upload site with the run-scoped single-deletion flag (the harness asserts exactly one storage rm, before any storage cp, with no misleading absent-report — and stage-release_test.sh passes 50, next-version_test.sh passes 54, including the v999-backup/v999backup tag-filter cases). record-smoked/verify-smoked digest the live manifest via gcloud storage cat (no edge cache), nightly no-op nights re-gate on verify-smoked.sh, promote resolves the row's commit for client_payload[sha] and skips the docs dispatch on a marker-less semver, and prerelease publishes skip AUR/brew. No hunk reverts recently committed work. Not checked: nothing structural required a build — the one thing I could not do is compile crates/version (scheme.rs is included both by build.rs and, under cfg(test), by lib.rs; I read it and the unit tests rather than proving it compiles), and I could not exercise the published flows (draft publication, .deb install smoke) end to end. Every substantive point from the previous review rounds is already resolved in the last four commits; nothing new survives the 0.5 confidence bar.
What ran
7 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.
Verification log
1. bash scripts/next-version_test.sh — exit 0 · self-reported
54/54 pass, including the malformed-tag cases (v999-backup / v999backup never become the base or the newest tag), prerelease precedence, --check over- and under-declaration, and the footer-only breaking range.
2. bash scripts/stage-release_test.sh — exit 0 · self-reported
50/50 pass. Asserts: last storage cp targets components on both the plain and --pkg-dir paths; --restage --pkg-dir deletes the marker exactly once, before any upload, with no 'was not present'; a failed marker deletion (403/auth/503) stops the upload; non-restage never touches a marker; --extra files upload with the precondition before the manifest.
3. bash scripts/smoked_test.sh — exit 0 · self-reported
Skipped itself: 'jq not installed' in this sandbox — the harness's declared environment prerequisite, not a failure of the reviewed code.
4. rg -- 'resolve-release-version|verify-nightly-provenance' .github/ scripts/ justfile — exit 1 · self-reported
No references to the two deleted scripts remain anywhere (the deleted _test.sh files are gone from disk too); publish-aur.sh/publish-brew.sh still exist and are invoked by publish-packages.yml.
5. git diff a514ac9..HEAD Cargo.lock — exit 0 · self-reported
Only the eight workspace crate version rows 0.5.5→0.6.0; no dependency, checksum, or URL changes, so no vulnerability-scan trigger.
6. gitleaks detect --no-git --pipe < pr.diff — exit 0 · self-reported
No credentials in the diff; also no AKIA/ghp_/private-key patterns by direct grep.
7. read .github/workflows/{release,nightly,promote,publish-packages,ci-linux-native}.yml in full — exit 0 · self-reported
Traced the version string (assert-version outputs → build env MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION → compute-version-string assert → row name), the dry-run gates (stage-installer and record-smoked both gated on !inputs.dry_run; smokes intentionally run on dry runs), and the publish order (promote flips the pointer, publish-packages publishes the draft last, creating the tag). Nightly no-op nights (release skipped) still run verify-smoked before set-channel.

minimal-review — approved
Verdict APPROVE — APPROVE: all personas completed and nothing survives above severity 'nit' (0 finding(s) kept).
Scope matches the title. Three commits in the issue's landing order — versioning foundations (crates + scripts, no YAML), write-once staging, frozen-YAML — and every hunk traces to one of the three binds the PR body names. Deletions (resolve-release-version.sh, verify-nightly-provenance.sh + tests) have no live references left (rg is clean).
Clobber none. HEAD is a merge of main into the feature branch; the visible history shows no reverted fix, and the two deleted scripts are replaced by their successors (next-version, record/verify-smoked) rather than silently dropped.
Correctness I verified the chains that this PR's value depends on, all of which hold:
assert-version'ssedforpackage.versionmatches the real[workspace.package]layout, andMINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSIONequality is enforced both incrates/version/src/scheme.rs(build-failingErr) andscripts/assert-release-version.sh.scheme.rsderivation is sound: thevprefix is stripped before thersplitn(3, '-')count/hash split, pre-release vs build-metadata encoding orders correctly under SemVer 2.0, and the 10 unit tests cover the override/describe/fallback cases.- The sha chain is consistent end to end: nightly
checkand releaseassert-versionboth usegit rev-parse --short=8 HEAD,record-smokedwrites--sha "$GITHUB_SHA", andpromote.ymlreads.shaback for a semver's docs pin / publish target. - The
.debinstall smoke'smin -V | awk '{print $2}'matches clap'smin <version>output (lib.rs#[command(name = "min", version = version::VERSION)]) andnfpm.yamlinstalls to/usr/bin/min, so the comparison is comparing the right string. - Dry-run ordering in release.yml is correct: the release job's dry-run
exit 0happens before the draft-delete/replace logic and beforegh release create, so a rehearsal touches neither GitHub nor GCS;stage-installer/record-smokedare skipped viaif: !dry_runplusneedsskip-propagation. publish-packages.ymlpublishes the parked draft viagh release edit --draft=false, which creates the tag on the already-smoked target commit — tag truly last, and a missing/already-published draft is a hard error rather than a paper-over.- The 15 pre-existing review threads were read and respected; every candidate I raised that matched one (record-smoked dry-run, stage-release ordering, manifest-last, prerelease publishing, invalidate-tolerance, newest-tag lint scope, nightly verify-smoked gate) is already resolved there and is not re-raised.
Nothing cleared the confidence bar for a finding. The only weak candidates that surfaced — next-version.sh --check failing if the next release is cut before the previous tag is promoted (fail-safe: it aborts before the expensive builds, and cutting a release before promoting the prior one is not a real flow), and the 8-char short-sha prefix-collision shape in promote's default path (pre-existing, speculative) — are both below the 0.5 threshold and dropped.
Not checked: anything needing a build or a live run. The versioned path as a whole (nfpm packaging in the release job, the .deb install smoke on a stock Ubuntu runner, draft creation, publish-packages) has never executed — the PR body itself flags this and prescribes dry_run: true for the first rehearsal. Shell-script set -euo pipefail hygiene was read, not executed.
What ran
10 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.
Verification log
1. git log --oneline -8 — exit 0 · self-reported
HEAD e7d878a is a merge of main into feat/release-version-foundations; no reverted fix visible in the recent history.
2. rg -n 'verify-nightly-provenance|resolve-release-version' (tree, excluding .review) — exit 1 · self-reported
No live references to the two deleted scripts — their successors (next-version.sh, record/verify-smoked.sh) fully replace them.
3. parse .review/threads.json with python3 (jq absent) — exit 0 · self-reported
15 threads, all resolved; candidate findings matching them were dropped, not re-raised.
4. Read crates/version/src/scheme.rs and build.rs hunks from pr.diff — self-reported
MINIMAL_RELEASE_VERSION must equal package.version or the build fails; to_semver strips the v prefix before rsplitn(3,'-'); pre-release encoding orders under SemVer 2.0; 10 unit tests cover override/describe/fallback.
5. Read assert-version, stage-installer, record-smoked, smoke-* and publish-packages hunks from pr.diff — self-reported
sha chain consistent (short-8 in assert-version/nightly, full GITHUB_SHA in record-smoked, .sha read back in promote); dry-run exits before draft-delete/create; draft publish creates the tag last.
6. Read packaging/nfpm.yaml and crates/minimal/src/lib.rs — self-reported
nfpm installs min to /usr/bin/min and clap prints 'min ', so the .deb smoke's
min -V | awk '{print $2}'compares the intended string.
7. Read scripts/package-nfpm.sh ARTIFACTS_DIR branch from pr.diff — self-reported
Local-artifact mode checks each -linux- exists before copying; the staged-row mode still verifies every download against the components manifest.
8. Read scripts/record-smoked.sh, verify-smoked.sh, next-version.sh, latest-staged-version.sh from pr.diff — self-reported
verify-smoked re-hashes the live manifest and fails on missing marker or digest mismatch; a re-staged row cannot inherit a stale blessing; marker served uncached.
9. sed/awk reads of .github/workflows/release.yml, nightly.yml, promote.yml — self-reported
record-smoked is gated on !dry_run and passes --sha "$GITHUB_SHA"; promote resolves a semver's SHA from the smoked marker and verifies before touching any channel pointer.
10. sed read of Cargo.toml [workspace.package] and Cargo.lock hunks — self-reported
package.version = "0.6.0" sits under [workspace.package] at column 0, so assert-version's sed matches; Cargo.lock changed only in crate version fields, no new dependencies.

I'm noticing there's a lot of custom scripts here, I'm wondering if maybe using something like git-cliff to generate the changelog for the release notes might simplify some of that. I think it might be good to write down the invariants/requirements somewhere in the future, as far as I can tell we just have |
Executes gominimal/inbox#633: the release pipeline builds once with an explicit release version, smokes and records provenance in the same run, and creates the tag last. Closes the three views of that bind: inbox#626 (empty release notes), inbox#627 (silent re-staging), inbox#628 (a provenance gate every promotion overrode).
