Promote Beta

Compatibility shim. Use release-lanes for end-to-end beta/latest maintenance. This file exists so older prompts that say promote-beta still route correctly.

Route

If the request is anything beyond read-only explanation, load .agents/rules/release-lanes.mdc and follow that skill instead.

The old split was too manual: promote PR, generated sync PR, then beta re-entry. The current owner is release-lanes, which treats promotion, direct main -> next sync, beta re-entry, release watching, npm readback, and stale PR cleanup as one autogoal-backed lane.

Do not run the old post-promotion checklist from this file.

Quick Commands

Create the lane plan:

node .agents/skills/autogoal/scripts/create-goal-scratchpad.mjs \
  --template release-lanes \
  --title "release lane maintenance"

Run a promote dry run:

gh workflow run promote.yml --ref next -f dry_run=true

Run direct main -> next sync through the release-lanes script:

node tooling/scripts/release-branch-prs.mjs sync-main-to-next --dry-run
node tooling/scripts/release-branch-prs.mjs sync-main-to-next --push
