# KTX release runbook
|
|
|
|
This runbook covers the maintainer workflow for publishing `@kaelio/ktx` to
|
|
npm through GitHub Actions. The workflow uses semantic-release to choose the
|
|
next version, update release metadata, publish the package, create the GitHub
|
|
release, and commit the release files back to the repository.
|
|
|
|
## Release channels
|
|
|
|
KTX has two npm release channels:
|
|
|
|
- `rc` publishes prereleases such as `0.1.0-rc.2` to the npm `next` tag.
|
|
- `stable` publishes normal releases such as `0.1.0` to the npm `latest` tag.
|
|
|
|
Run rc releases from the source branch you want to publish. The workflow
|
|
creates or updates the `next` prerelease branch from that source branch before
|
|
running semantic-release, because semantic-release requires a dedicated
|
|
prerelease branch in addition to the stable `main` branch.
|
|
|
|
Run stable releases only from `main`. The workflow rejects stable releases from
|
|
other branches.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before you publish, confirm these requirements:
|
|
|
|
- npm Trusted Publishing is configured for `@kaelio/ktx`.
|
|
- The trusted publisher points at the `Kaelio/ktx` repository and the
|
|
`.github/workflows/release.yml` workflow.
|
|
- The workflow keeps `id-token: write` permission so npm can verify the
|
|
GitHub Actions run through OpenID Connect.
|
|
- The repository has a baseline semantic-release tag for the latest published
|
|
package version, such as `v0.1.0-rc.1`.
|
|
|
|
If no baseline tag exists, semantic-release treats the run as the first release
|
|
and may choose a version that doesn't match the currently published package.
|
|
|
|
## Dry-run a release
|
|
|
|
Use a dry-run to verify the next version and generated release notes without
|
|
publishing to npm.
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Actions** in GitHub.
|
|
2. Select **KTX Release**.
|
|
3. Select the branch to release from.
|
|
4. Set **release_kind** to `rc` or `stable`.
|
|
5. Leave **publish_live** set to `false`.
|
|
6. Optional: Set **force_release** to `true` when you need a patch release even
|
|
if semantic-release doesn't find a releasable commit.
|
|
7. Run the workflow.
|
|
|
|
The dry-run uses the same semantic-release configuration as a live release. For
|
|
rc releases, it can create or update the `next` branch. It doesn't publish to
|
|
npm and doesn't commit release files.
|
|
|
|
## Publish an rc release
|
|
|
|
Publish an rc release when you need a prerelease package for validation before
|
|
promoting to `latest`.
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Actions** in GitHub.
|
|
2. Select **KTX Release**.
|
|
3. Select the source branch to release from.
|
|
4. Set **release_kind** to `rc`.
|
|
5. Set **publish_live** to `true`.
|
|
6. Optional: Set **force_release** to `true`.
|
|
7. Run the workflow.
|
|
|
|
The workflow merges the selected source branch into `next`, publishes
|
|
`@kaelio/ktx` with `--access public --tag next`, runs the published package
|
|
smoke test, creates a GitHub release, and commits `CHANGELOG.md`,
|
|
`package.json`, and `release-policy.json` on `next`.
|
|
|
|
## Publish a stable release
|
|
|
|
Publish a stable release from `main` after you have validated an rc package.
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Actions** in GitHub.
|
|
2. Select **KTX Release**.
|
|
3. Select `main`.
|
|
4. Set **release_kind** to `stable`.
|
|
5. Set **publish_live** to `true`.
|
|
6. Optional: Set **force_release** to `true`.
|
|
7. Run the workflow.
|
|
|
|
The workflow publishes `@kaelio/ktx` with `--access public --tag latest`, runs
|
|
the published package smoke test, creates a GitHub release, and commits the
|
|
release metadata.
|
|
|
|
## Release metadata
|
|
|
|
semantic-release calls `scripts/update-public-release-version.mjs` during the
|
|
prepare step. That script updates:
|
|
|
|
- `package.json` with the semantic-release version.
|
|
- `release-policy.json` with `publicNpmPackageVersion`, npm publish settings,
|
|
and the published package smoke-test version.
|
|
|
|
The artifact packaging and readiness scripts read `publicNpmPackageVersion`
|
|
from `release-policy.json`, so manual version edits in build scripts aren't
|
|
needed for rc releases.
|
|
|
|
## npm authentication
|
|
|
|
The release workflow publishes through npm Trusted Publishing. It doesn't use
|
|
an `NPM_TOKEN` secret, and the publish step doesn't set `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN`.
|
|
|
|
If npm returns an authentication error, check the Trusted Publishing settings
|
|
for the `@kaelio/ktx` package before adding token-based authentication back to
|
|
the workflow.
