## Current Releases !`gh release list --limit 5 2>/dev/null || echo "gh not available"` ## Open PRs to Main !`gh pr list --state open --base main --json title,number 2>/dev/null || echo "none"` ## Instructions **IMPORTANT: Only create a release when the user explicitly asks**, or as part of a PR workflow. ### Step 1 — Determine Version Current phase: **Alpha**. Product UI shows short product lines such as `v0.26`; release tags and package/image artifacts use exact alpha-train versions such as `v0.26.0-alpha.0`, `v0.26.0-alpha.1`, and `v0.26.0-alpha.2`. Check the latest tag: ```bash gh release list --limit 3 ``` Version bump decision: | Change type | Bump | Example | |-------------|------|---------| | New features | Minor product line | v0.26 → v0.26 | | Bug fixes / repeated dev publishes | Alpha artifact | v0.26.0-alpha.0 → v0.26.0-alpha.1 | | Breaking changes | Major | v0.26 → v1.0 | ### Step 2 — Write Release Notes Generate the contract trace for the commits included in the release and include its implemented contract versions, verified assertions, and approved exceptions in the release metadata/notes: ```bash python3 scripts/specifications.py release-summary --git-range <previous-tag>..<target> --json ``` Write human-readable notes aimed at **users and contributors** (not a commit dump): ```markdown ## Overview <1-3 sentence overview> ## New Features - <feature descriptions> ## Bug Fixes - <fix descriptions> ## Improvements - <notable internal improvements affecting UX> ``` ### Step 3 — Create Draft Pre-Release ```bash gh release create <tag> \ --target main \ --title "<tag>: <short description>" \ --notes "$(cat <<'EOF' <release notes> EOF )" \ --draft \ --prerelease ``` ### After Creation Tell the user: - The draft release tag and URL - That it should be **published after the PR is merged into `main`** - To publish: `gh release edit <tag> --draft=false`
