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. Stable releases use the requested version only inside the runner while building and publishing, then synchronize that released version back to main with a small bot commit after npm and GitHub publication succeed. 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 manual GitHub Actions release workflow. It validates release inputs and publication state, publishes npm and GitHub artifacts, supports safe reruns, and synchronizes stable versions back to main. Documentation and package repository metadata describe the release process.

Changes

Release workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release entry and version validation
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow requires main and successful CI, resolves stable or prerelease metadata, verifies tag ownership, and rejects invalid or regressing stable versions.
Package validation and artifact creation
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow installs dependencies, sets the temporary package version, runs typecheck and tests, runs the install smoke test, and creates an integrity-checked tarball.
Publication inspection and publishing
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow checks existing npm and GitHub artifacts, prepares a draft release, publishes npm with provenance, and publishes the GitHub release.
Stable synchronization and release contract
.github/workflows/release.yml, package.json, docs/development.md
Stable releases synchronize the version to main. The package metadata and documentation describe release channels, trusted publishing, and rerun behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c0f4

The release workflow can publish a package after CI associated with the release commit, but the CI gate does not yet establish that the successful run was a main-branch push. This could allow publication without the intended main CI validation and should be corrected before release use.

A rabbit starts the release run
It checks each tag and version one
The package hops to npm’s shelf
A draft release guards itself
Stable notes return to main

Greptile Summary

Adds a manually dispatched release workflow that validates an exact successful main-branch commit, builds and publishes an integrity-checked npm artifact using trusted publishing, manages draft and existing GitHub releases safely, and synchronizes stable versions back to main.

  • Distinguishes prerelease and stable npm channels.
  • Validates existing npm and GitHub artifacts before treating reruns as complete.
  • Short-circuits stable synchronization when main already records the released version.
  • Documents release operation and adds package repository metadata.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no outstanding previous findings or actionable new defects remain.

All previous findings were manually resolved, and the latest stable-sync change correctly exits when origin/main already records the released version while retaining the moved-main guard when synchronization is still required.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
.github/workflows/release.yml Introduces the release pipeline and safely handles stable-version synchronization reruns by checking the version currently recorded on origin/main.
docs/development.md Documents release channels, trusted publishing configuration, stable synchronization, and safe rerun requirements.
package.json Adds canonical 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.
