Drives the Educates project's Gitflow-based branch and release workflow. Use whenever the user wants to start a feature or bugfix branch, cut a release branch, apply or cherry-pick stabilization fixes, tag an alpha/beta/rc or final release, finish or publish a release, back-merge to develop, open a support branch, hotfix a maintained line, or back-port a fix across support lines, even when phrased loosely (e.g. "let's get 4.1 out", "branch for the tunnel fix", "patch 3.7 for that CVE"). Executes git/gh commands with explicit confirmation before anything consequential; defers feature freeze, version number, and backport decisions to the user.
Upgrade Kubernetes version support across the educates-training-platform project. Invoke when asked to "upgrade kubernetes version", "support newer kubernetes version", "add kubectl version", or "drop kubernetes version". Updates kubectl binaries in the base environment Dockerfile, version mapping scripts, kind cluster constants, and Go dependencies.
Upgrade the vcluster software version (and the Kubernetes versions the virtual cluster provisions) used by the vcluster workshop application in session-manager. Invoke when asked to "upgrade vcluster", "bump vcluster", "update vcluster to vX.Y.Z", or "align vcluster kubernetes versions".
Upgrade a vendored upstream cluster-service Helm chart the Educates operator installs for EducatesClusterConfig — cert-manager, Contour, Kyverno, or external-dns. Invoke when asked to "upgrade cert-manager / contour / kyverno / external-dns", "bump a vendored cluster-service chart", or "update the operator's bundled charts".
Create release notes for an Educates version. Invoke when asked to "create release notes", "prepare for a release", "generate release notes", or "document changes for version X.Y.Z". Creates a versioned markdown file in project-docs/release-notes/ and updates project-docs/index.rst.
Upgrade the Go version across the entire educates-training-platform project. Invoke when asked to "upgrade go version", "bump golang", "update go", or "use go 1.xx". Updates go.work, all go.mod files, all Dockerfiles, and CI/CD workflow files.
Upgrade the vendored third-party frontend libraries bundled into the Educates workshop dashboard theme (Bootstrap, Font Awesome, jQuery, Underscore.js, JSONForm, js-yaml). Invoke when asked to "update theme libraries", "upgrade bootstrap/font-awesome/jquery/underscore/jsonform/js-yaml", "bump the dashboard frontend libraries", or "refresh the vendored web assets".
