Spectre Release

Use this skill for Spectre release work after the tag-driven release workflow has run.

Central Portal Check

Use the release checker before publishing a validated Central Portal deployment:

scripts/central_portal_check.py status \
  --deployment-id <deployment-id>

scripts/central_portal_check.py validate \
  --deployment-id <deployment-id> \
  --version <version>

The script reads credentials from the 1Password item Spectre Maven Central Portal via op. It can also use MAVEN_CENTRAL_USERNAME / MAVEN_CENTRAL_PASSWORD or the matching ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenCentralUsername / ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenCentralPassword environment variables when running in CI-like shells.

The read-only validation checks:

• deployment status and expected Spectre component purls
• expected Maven artifact files and .asc signatures for all published modules
• file sizes from the Central validated-deployment download endpoint
• recording helper jar contents
• spectre-agent does not contain AttachSpike
• spectre-agent-runtime has the Java agent manifest and no forbidden bundled classes

Publishing

Publishing is intentionally not automatic.

Prefer the Central Portal UI for the first few releases. If the API path is used, run the script's publish command only after validate is green:

scripts/central_portal_check.py publish \
  --deployment-id <deployment-id> \
  --version <version>

The command requires typing this exact confirmation:

publish <deployment-id> <version>

Do not pass --yes unless the user explicitly asks for non-interactive publishing in the current task.

Finish

After Central reports PUBLISHED, undraft the GitHub release:

gh release edit v<version> --draft=false

GitHub releases should point readers to Maven Central for artifacts instead of attaching a partial jar set. Then verify the public Maven Central coordinates resolve from a clean consumer project.
