Ingestion service release
Read .github/copilot-instructions.md completely before changing a release
artifact.
- Determine the intended semantic version and create
release/x.y.z from
develop.
- Set root
VERSION to x.y.z without v.
- Replace the staged
## [Unreleased] heading with
## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD; do not add a new Unreleased section on the
release branch.
- Verify branch,
VERSION, changelog, Git tag, and GitHub Release title are
synchronized.
- Identify the compatible Azure/GPT-RAG umbrella and component versions and
validate the exact ingestion commit or image in that context.
- Record Python, frontend, container, and controlled Azure evidence required
by the changed behavior.
- Confirm documentation status and rollback or roll-forward steps.
- Target the release pull request to
main.
- After merge, create exactly
vX.Y.Z for the tag and release title only
with explicit human approval.
- Re-fetch the release and verify formatting and the absence of private
Azure environment or resource-group names.
After the release, recreate the empty Unreleased section separately on
develop. Report incompatible contracts, missing validation, or
documentation drift as blockers rather than filling gaps by assumption.
