Go FeatureManagement Release

When to Use

• Release a new version of the Go FeatureManagement package (featuremanagement) and its feature flag provider (featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig)
• Bump the module version and publish to the Go module proxy

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) ≥ 2.86.0
• Authenticated via gh auth login with repo and read:org scopes
• GitHub Copilot agent enabled for the repository
• Write access to microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go

Cycle: Create → Monitor Task → Monitor PR

Every PR in this release follows the same three-phase cycle. The steps below reference this cycle.

A. Create the agent task

Create one agent task for the next PR in the sequence. Each command returns a URL in the format:

https://github.com/microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go/pull/<pr-id>/agent-sessions/<agent-session-id>

B. Monitor the agent task

Extract the agent-session-id from the URL returned in step A, then poll:

gh agent-task view <agent-session-id>

Keep polling until the session state is Ready for review. Print the PR URL for reference.

C. Monitor the PR until merged

Poll the PR every 10 minutes. Stop monitoring if:

• PR state is MERGED → proceed to the next step (or finish if this was the last PR).
• PR state is CLOSED or Abandoned → report and stop the release.
• 24 hours elapsed → report current status and stop the release.

gh pr view <pr-id> --repo microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go --json state --jq '.state'

---

Procedure

Follow these steps in order. Each step depends on the previous one completing successfully.

Step 1 — Create Version Bump PR

Use the Create → Monitor Task → Monitor PR cycle:

A. Create the agent task:

gh agent-task create \
  "Please create a version bump PR for version <version>. \
  Checkout a new branch from release/v<version> (e.g. version-bump/v<version>), \
  update the moduleVersion in featuremanagement/version.go to <version>, \
  and open a PR targeting the release/v<version> branch with title 'Version bump v<version>'." \
  --repo microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go \
  --base release/v<version>

B. Monitor the agent task until session state is Ready for review.

C. Monitor the PR until it is merged. Do not proceed until the PR state is MERGED.

Step 2 — Tag the Release

After the version bump PR is merged, fetch the release branch and create a git tag at the HEAD:

git fetch origin release/v<version>
git tag featuremanagement/v<version> origin/release/v<version>

Step 3 — Push the Tag

Push the tag to the remote:

git push origin featuremanagement/v<version>

Step 4 — Publish FeatureManagement to Go Module Proxy

Before executing the publish command, generate a summary report table for human review:

Item	Detail
Version	v<version>
Version file	featuremanagement/version.go updated to <version>
Tag pushed	featuremanagement/v<version>
Publish command	GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement@v<version>
Next step	After publish, create feature flag provider dependency update PR

Pause here. Present the table and wait for the user to confirm before proceeding.

After user confirmation, run:

GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement@v<version>

Step 5 — Create Feature Flag Provider Dependency Update PR

Use the Create → Monitor Task → Monitor PR cycle:

A. Create the agent task:

gh agent-task create \
  "Please create a PR to update the feature flag provider dependency. \
  Checkout a new branch from release/v<version> (e.g. update-provider-dep/v<version>). \
  In featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/go.mod, update the featuremanagement dependency version: \
  change 'require github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement v<old-version>' \
  to 'require github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement v<version>'. \
  Then run 'cd featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig && go mod tidy' to update go.sum. \
  Open a PR targeting the release/v<version> branch with title 'Feature flag provider: update dependency v<version>'." \
  --repo microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go \
  --base release/v<version>

B. Monitor the agent task until session state is Ready for review.

C. Monitor the PR until it is merged. Do not proceed until the PR state is MERGED.

Step 6 — Tag the Feature Flag Provider Release

After the dependency update PR is merged, fetch the release branch and create a git tag for the provider at the HEAD:

git fetch origin release/v<version>
git tag featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/v<version> origin/release/v<version>

Step 7 — Push the Provider Tag

Push the provider tag to the remote:

git push origin featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/v<version>

Step 8 — Publish Feature Flag Provider to Go Module Proxy

Before executing the publish command, generate a summary report table for human review:

Item	Detail
Version	v<version>
Provider module	featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig
Dependency	featuremanagement v<version>
Tag pushed	featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/v<version>
Publish command	GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig@v<version>
Next step	After publish, create merge-back PR (release branch → main)

Pause here. Present the table and wait for the user to confirm before proceeding.

After user confirmation, run:

GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/microsoft/Featuremanagement-Go/featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig@v<version>

Step 9 — Create Merge-Back PR

Use the Create → Monitor Task → Monitor PR cycle:

A. Create the agent task:

gh agent-task create \
  "Please create a PR to merge release/v<version> back to main with title 'Merge release/v<version> to main'." \
  --repo microsoft/FeatureManagement-Go \
  --base main

B. Monitor the agent task until session state is Ready for review.

C. Monitor the PR until it is merged. The release is complete once this PR is merged.

Notes

• The version in featuremanagement/version.go uses the format X.Y.Z (no v prefix) in the moduleVersion constant.
• The featuremanagement module tag uses the format featuremanagement/vX.Y.Z (with v prefix and module path prefix).
• The feature flag provider tag uses the format featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/vX.Y.Z.
• The publish commands only change the version portion: @vX.Y.Z.
• The feature flag provider dependency update PR modifies featuremanagement/providers/azappconfig/go.mod and go.sum (via go mod tidy).
