description	Build, tag, and publish a new release with cross-compiled binaries and GitHub release
disable-model-invocation	true

Create a versioned release of openshift-ci-mcp. Confirm the version with the user before proceeding.

Arguments

The user may specify:

• major, minor, or patch (default: patch) — which semver component to bump
• An explicit version like v1.2.3

Process

1. Determine version

# Get the latest semver tag (ignore non-semver tags)
git tag -l 'v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1

• If no tags exist, the first release is v0.1.0.
• If the user gave an explicit version, use it (add v prefix if missing).
• Otherwise bump the specified component from the latest tag:
  • Check commits since the last tag to determine the semver bump
    • patch: v0.1.0 → v0.1.1
    • minor: v0.1.0 → v0.2.0
    • major: v0.1.0 → v1.0.0

Tell the user the version and ask for confirmation before continuing.

2. Validate

Run tests and lint before building anything:

make verify

Stop if verification fails.

3. Cross-compile binaries

make build-all

This builds for linux/amd64, linux/arm64, darwin/amd64, and darwin/arm64. Binaries are written to bin/ as openshift-ci-mcp-<os>-<arch>.

4. Generate release notes

Generate release notes from the git log since the previous tag (or all commits if first release):

# If previous tag exists:
git log <prev-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

# If first release:
git log --oneline --no-merges

Organize the notes into sections based on commit prefixes:

• Features — commits starting with feat: or Add
• Bug Fixes — commits starting with fix: or Fix
• Other — everything else

Include a summary line at the top describing the release. Keep it concise.

5. Build and push container image

VERSION=<version> make image push

This builds and pushes quay.io/rh-edge-enablement/openshift-ci-mcp:<version> and :latest.

6. Create git tag and GitHub release

git tag -a <version> -m "Release <version>"
git push origin <version>

gh release create <version> \
  --title "<version>" \
  --notes "<release-notes>" \
  bin/openshift-ci-mcp-*

This attaches all cross-compiled binaries as release assets.

7. Report

Print a summary:

• Version released
• Container image: quay.io/rh-edge-enablement/openshift-ci-mcp:<tag> (e.g. v0.1.0)
• GitHub release URL (from gh release create output)
