DevSpace releases are currently a local/manual operation, which makes prerelease cuts harder to reproduce and easier to detach from the exact commit that passed CI. This adds a manual Release workflow that only accepts a main commit with a successful push CI run, derives beta versus latest publication from the requested version, validates and packs that source, publishes the exact tarball through npm trusted publishing, and keeps the GitHub release as a draft until npm succeeds. Re-running the same version only resumes or completes publication when npm integrity, the expected dist-tag, and any public GitHub artifact already match; inconsistent public state fails without being rewritten.

Prerelease version changes stay ephemeral in the runner, while stable releases require package.json to already contain the requested stable version so main remains aligned with the published release. npm needs a one-time trusted-publisher entry for Waishnav/devspace using release.yml with direct npm publish allowed; no long-lived npm token is used.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a manually triggered release workflow. It validates the source and CI state, packages the project, checks existing publications, publishes to npm, and finalizes GitHub releases. Documentation and package metadata describe the release process.

Changes

Release publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release validation and packaging
.github/workflows/release.yml
Validates the branch, CI status, version, tag ownership, dependencies, and tests. It creates the package tarball and records its SHA-512 integrity.
Publication inspection and finalization
.github/workflows/release.yml
Checks existing npm integrity, dist-tags, and GitHub releases. It reuses matching drafts, skips completed publications, verifies Node.js and npm versions, publishes incomplete packages, and finalizes the release state.
Release metadata and operating instructions
package.json, docs/development.md
Adds repository metadata and documents release inputs, channels, rerun rules, and npm trusted publishing configuration.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8ec03

The release workflow adds guarded npm publishing and GitHub release finalization, but it may still publish a commit validated by CI from a non-main branch rather than the required main CI run. Resolve the CI-run branch restriction before merging.

A rabbit checks the version bright
Then packs the tarball snug and light
CI guards the garden gate
npm receives the parcel straight
The release reaches moonlit height

Greptile Summary

Adds a manual, reproducible release pipeline that publishes an artifact from an exact successful main commit.

  • Validates stable and prerelease versions and selects the corresponding npm channel.
  • Verifies existing npm packages, dist-tags, GitHub releases, and artifacts before safely resuming a release.
  • Uses npm trusted publishing and keeps new GitHub releases in draft state until npm publication succeeds.
  • Documents release operation and adds package repository metadata.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the latest change closes the remaining npm release-channel recovery gap.

Existing npm versions are now accepted only when both artifact integrity and the requested beta or latest dist-tag match, preventing a rerun from publishing the GitHub release while leaving npm on the wrong channel. The previously reported release workflow issues are resolved in the current code.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
.github/workflows/release.yml Adds the release workflow and now verifies that an existing npm version is assigned to the requested dist-tag before completing a rerun.
docs/development.md Documents release channels, trusted publishing, stable-version requirements, and safe rerun behavior.
package.json Adds repository metadata for the published package.

154-158: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the effective Node.js and npm versions before publishing.

pnpm/setup@84cb39b217b10273981911c288cd62326dc7c6d2 appends its Node.js directory to PATH. An older runner-provided node or npm executable can therefore remain effective in the Publish npm package step. Trusted publishing requires Node.js 22.14.0 or later and npm CLI 11.5.1 or later. Fail the setup step when either resolved version is too old.
