feat(release): test a published release candidate before the stable release - #3297
Release now tests a published release candidate before it publishes a stable version, can roll back with one dispatch, and Nightly rehearses the same path every night (#3212, pipeline item 3 of .ai/specs/2026-11-11-one-full-run-delivery-pipeline.md § Release).
release.yml takes one candidate commit through these jobs:
Job
What it does
plan
Candidate on main: the newest first-parent commit whose ci.yml push run passed. On release/**: the head. Version from that commit's manifest; rc number from the registry. Gates: 24 hours since the last stable publish, no open release-blocker, last Nightly rehearsal passed
suite
release/** only: the new reusable full-suite.yml (the merge-group jobs of ci.yml) on the head
stage
Publishes <version>-rc.<n> of the candidate under next (exact pins). Refuses if that would move next backwards
candidate
release-candidate-tests.yml on the published package: clean install, boot, cockpit smoke, upgrade from latest with a saved second project, Ubuntu/macOS/Windows × Node 24.21.0/LTS, shuffled browser specs on the candidate source
release
Builds, then re-checks blockers, rehearsal and registry (latest moved, tag regression, 24 hours) right before publishing the same commit under latest; installs it through the alias and boots it; bump PR, tag and changelog name the candidate commit (SOURCE_SHA)
blocker
Files a release-blocker issue (one per version, repeats comment) when the candidate tests or the alias install fail
Rollback: dispatch with rollback. It republishes the newest stable tag below latest (or rollback_to) as the next patch, through the same stage/test/promote path, without the 24-hour rule. The blocker filed for the replaced latest does not stop it; any other blocker does unless named in ignore_blockers. The bump PR is made on the dispatch head. docs/publishing.md says why a dist-tag move is not a rollback.
Nightly: newest verified main commit → full-suite.yml → publish under nightly → release-candidate-tests.yml → one open rehearsal release-blocker on any failure.
Release tooling runs from the dispatch commit; the package builds from the candidate in source/, so a rollback to an old commit still runs current scripts. Maintenance lines: version from the branch manifest, candidate tag next-x.y and stable tag latest-x.y when below the current next/latest.
ci.yml is unchanged. full-suite.workflow.test.cjs keeps full-suite.yml's commands, shard matrices, runners and bounds equal to the ci.yml jobs it copies; a shard-count change in ci.yml fails it until both change.
Decisions inside the issue that a reader may question
A rollback skips the rehearsal gate: a failed rehearsal files a blocker, and the blocker rule (with ignore_blockers) decides.
Browser specs run on the candidate's source commit, shuffled: the published bundle has no e2e mode.
A release from main must be above latest (merge the pending bump PR first). This prevents publishing below latest.
After merge, every stable release is refused until a Nightly run tests a published package and passes (the rehearsal gate reads the Release candidate result job). Today's newest Nightly failed, so dispatch Nightly first.
node:test: release-plan, release-blocker, release.workflow, release-finalization (adds a getter-based Actions context and a candidate older than the dispatch commit), nightly.workflow, full-suite.workflow, scripts/release-smoke.test.mjs (end-to-end run against a fake package, incl. a lost saved project): all pass locally.
npm run test:package -- packages/cezar/test/e2e/release.test.ts: 16/16 (adds candidate under next with exact pins, candidate refused on latest, --stamp-only).
scripts/release-smoke.mjs live against npm: cezarion 0.17.0 → 0.18.0 upgrade with a saved second project, booted and served the cockpit.
Release plan read-only against live GitHub + npm: refuses today (0.18.0 < 24 h; newest Nightly failed); rollback plan resolves to 0.18.1 from the v0.17.0 commit.
actionlint 1.7.12 + shellcheck 0.11.0 (warning severity): clean. npm run lint: pass. npm run typecheck: pass. check-citations: no bare citation.
Pre-PR review: five codex rounds; rounds 1–4 found 8 issues, all fixed (rehearsal gate without published tests, rollback exemption too wide, upgrade check on auto-recreated ids, stale plan publishing below latest, gate re-check before builds, Actions context.repo getter lost by a spread, stale plan moving next / latest-x.y backwards). Round 5: no active finding.
Code quality (Squeal one-shot gate)
squeal code --base origin/main --json, Squeal 0.1.440 (squeal-code-gate/1), base 427187b4e, head 24a66d2b7 (clean tree), limits complexity 20 / CRAP 30. Verdict incomplete: 203 pass, 0 violations, 6 incomplete, 0 skipped, no timeout, nothing uncounted, every selected test completed (Vitest 1/1, node:test 7/7).
The 6 incomplete rows are no-loader: no Squeal runner loads the packaged CLI suite, and squeal code --test packages/cezar/test/e2e/release.test.ts is refused ("no Vitest or node:test project lists it"):

Covered instead by npm run test:package (16/16 locally) and CI's packaged CLI job. The coordinator approved opening with this gap named and files the Squeal runner issue.
Auto-merge: does not qualify (release and test-harness never-list paths); the coordinator merges.
…elease
Release takes one candidate commit through plan, stage, candidate tests and
promotion: on main the newest commit whose ci.yml push run passed, on a
release/** branch its head after the reusable full suite. It stages
<version>-rc.<n> under next, tests the published package (clean install,
boot, cockpit, upgrade from latest, OS and Node floor matrix, shuffled
browser specs), checks the gates again, then publishes the same commit
under latest. A failed candidate or alias install files a release-blocker
issue. A rollback releases the last good stable commit as the next patch.
Nightly rehearses the same path and files a release-blocker on failure.
Closes#3212
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A rerun of an older run reuses its plan; refuse when latest moved, the
stable tag no longer fits, or another stable version is under 24 hours old.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The PR adds reusable full-suite and release-candidate workflows. Release and Nightly now select and test candidate commits, apply release gates, promote stable packages, and file blocker issues for specified failures.
Adds reusable workflows for full-suite verification and published-candidate tests. The full suite runs lint, typecheck, unit and packaged CLI checks, Vitest shards, and cockpit browser shards against a supplied commit. Tests check workflow configuration and completion results.
Adds stable and candidate version and dist-tag validation. The release script supports candidate publishing and manifest stamping without publishing. Smoke tests install and boot packages, check cockpit assets and saved project state, and can test upgrades.
Release planning and blockers .github/scripts/release-plan.cjs, .github/scripts/release-plan.test.cjs, .github/scripts/release-blocker.cjs, .github/scripts/release-blocker.test.cjs
Adds commit and version selection, blocker and rehearsal gates, registry checks, rollback planning, and issue creation or updates for failed releases and rehearsals. Tests cover plans, gate rechecks, rollback, and blocker deduplication.
Release stages and tests a candidate before stable promotion from the planned commit. Nightly runs the full suite and published-package tests against a verified commit. Workflows add blocker handling, and release finalization uses the selected source SHA.
Publishing and failure documentation docs/publishing.md, docs/failure-reporting.md
Describes the staged release and nightly flows, release gates, rollback behavior, and blocker reporting.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 14535
The new staged release pipeline has gaps that can leave a half-published release without a blocker, or record a rollback on the wrong maintenance branch. Fix these before relying on it for a release. Most earlier concerns are resolved.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 14535
The release flow adds candidate testing and promotion gates while separating test execution from publishing authority. No introduced security defect was established in the inspected paths. Production approval settings and operational recovery from interrupted publication remain incompletely verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The relevant authority spans publicly installed package versions and aliases, repository release tags, and bump PRs—not a single tenant. Stable publishing and release-branch dispatch eligibility already existed at the base. The PR adds a production-scoped candidate publisher and additional gates around that existing distribution authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Planning and candidate tests do not request publishing identity. Stage and promotion jobs do request it and execute dependency installation and builds, so checked-out source and build dependencies remain within the publisher's trust boundary. Disabling persisted checkout credentials reduces repository-token exposure but does not remove job-level publishing authority. Actual environment approvals and trusted-publisher restrictions are external configuration, not established by these declarations.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — A failed candidate or post-promotion tag/alias validation configures blocker filing. Normal promotion refuses open blockers, including on rerun; rollback has explicit exceptions. Finalization may still record an already-published version after validation failure. Documentation directs operators to close resolved blockers or roll back a broken promoted version, so unrestricted automatic retry is not the recovery contract.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Consider durable per-package publication progress and recovery-aware handling of partial or interrupted promotion. Preserve source-matching retries while making incomplete publication visible to subsequent dispatches. This addresses residual failure containment in the existing sequential publisher; it is not an established security regression introduced by this PR.

Explanation
The title "feat(release): test a published release candidate before the stable release" matches the main change. The changeset adds a release-candidate test stage (release-candidate-tests.yml and the release.yml candidate job) that runs before promotion to the stable dist-tag. The title is specific and does not cover rollback, Nightly rehearsal, or the blocker issue, which is expected for a title of this length.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #3212 is the only active target. Its coding requirements map to the whole-PR changes between the merge base 46a383c and head 145357e. I did not read the source blobs. The evidence is the whole-PR change summary, the PR description, and the previous assessment.
[#3212] Candidate selection: release-plan.cjs (verifiedMainCommit, newestVerifiedCommit) selects the newest first-parent main commit with a passing ci.yml push run. On release/** the head is used. full-suite.yml is a reusable workflow that release.yml calls on release/** heads before staging. Its tests check that its commands, shard matrices, runners and bounds match ci.yml.
[#3212] Gates: blockingIssues, rehearsalVerdict, COOLDOWN_MS, lastStablePublish and recheckGates refuse a release with an open release-blocker, a failed rehearsal, or a stable publish within 24 hours. recheckGates runs before promotion. Retries after a failed candidate and rollbacks are exempt from the 24-hour rule.
[#3212] Staging and promotion: release.yml stages <version>-rc.<n> under next with exact pins (resolveReleaseTarget in packages/cezar/src/release/stable.ts). release-candidate-tests.yml tests the published candidate: clean install, boot, cockpit smoke, upgrade from latest with a saved project, Node 24.21.0 and LTS, the OS matrix, and shuffled browser shards. Only after that does promotion publish the same commit under latest. The alias install and boot run after promotion. checkCandidateTag and registryChanges prevent moving next, latest or a maintenance tag backwards.
[#3212] Commit identity: release-finalization.cjs withSource uses SOURCE_SHA for the bump PR, tag and changelog. A regression test covers a candidate older than the dispatch commit.
[#3212] Blockers: release-blocker.cjs files or comments one release-blocker per stable version for candidate or alias-install failures. A failed rehearsal files a blocker with the nightly key. The blocker job in nightly.yml runs even when candidate selection fails.
[#3212] Rollback: rollback, rollback_to and ignore_blockers inputs republish the last good stable tag as the next patch. The blocker for the replaced latest does not stop it. Other open blockers do, unless named in ignore_blockers.
[#3212] Maintenance lines: the version comes from the branch manifest. resolveReleaseTarget rejects a maintenance dist-tag that does not match the version's major and minor.
[#3212] Docs: docs/publishing.md and docs/failure-reporting.md describe the flow and state that a dist-tag move is not a rollback.
No concrete unmet coding requirement appears in the evidence. The self-reported tests were not re-run. The six Squeal no-loader rows concern test-runner coverage, not an unmet requirement.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Every changed file supports an objective of #3212. The changes cover release and Nightly workflows and their reusable parts (full-suite.yml, release-candidate-tests.yml). They also cover planner and blocker helpers with tests, scripts/release.mjs and packages/cezar/src/release/stable.ts (candidate targets, exact pins, maintenance-tag checks), scripts/release-smoke.mjs for the published-package upgrade check, the release-packages.cjs alias helpers used by the alias install, and docs/publishing.md and docs/failure-reporting.md. The PR states that ci.yml is unchanged. It also states that desktop, mobile, scheduled and self-update work is not included. The change summary shows no unrelated change. Supporting tests and documentation implement the objectives. Scope uncertainty remains only because source blobs were not read.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The PR description follows the required template: it has a Summary, a Validation section (in place of Evidence), a Left undone section, and a Closes reference to #3212. It omits several required sections: Design decision, Experience (UI N/A reason), and Merge Danger (Door and Blast Radius). Its Verification content is a Validation section, not the template's Verification heading, and it does not state N/A for UI. The content itself is detailed and specific, so the description is mostly complete.
Resolution
Add the missing template sections: 'Design decision' (design track, with a link to the spec or Plan handoff), 'Experience' (state 'N/A — no user-facing UI' with a reason), and 'Merge Danger' with the Door: and Blast Radius: fields. Rename 'Validation' to 'Verification' and list exact command → result lines. Confirm the 'Left undone' section lists a 'Filed:' reference for the deferred follow-up (#3321) and the squeal runner issue. Remove the agent-context marker if it does not apply. Keep the 'Closes' line as #3212.

Verify the alias dist-tag, not only the exact version.
Defect class: exact-version-only promotion verification. This step installs cezarion@<version>. If a retry finds that version already published but its alias dist-tag still points to an older version, the release script skips publication. The exact-version smoke test can pass and finalization can proceed while the default alias install remains old. Check that the alias resolves through needs.plan.outputs.stable_tag to the published version before marking promotion successful. The changed test in .github/scripts/release.workflow.test.cjs Lines 54–57 also checks only the exact-version wiring. The release script’s already-published path and the smoke installer establish this mismatch. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Fixed in d9f5065. A new Check the dist-tags step runs after Publish release and before the alias smoke. It checks that dist-tags.<stable_tag> of every published name equals the version, and otherwise fails with the npm dist-tag add recovery command. A test covers its position and its tag input.
In GitHub Actions, if a prior step fails, can a later step with if: ${{ !cancelled() && steps.release.outputs.published == 'true' }} still run? Check official GitHub Actions documentation on the default success() status check and status check functions.
Length of output: 14012
@wjarka The new check includes names skipped on retry, including the alias. It also fails when a dist-tag points to the wrong version.
One part of the finding remains: after that failure, the finalization steps at .github/workflows/release.yml Lines 361, 371, 383, and 401 can still run. Their !cancelled() conditions override the default success() check.
Please give the dist-tag check an ID and require its successful outcome in those steps. A regression test should cover a failed dist-tag check while preserving GitHub Release creation after a failed bump PR. I’m not marking the finding as addressed yet.
…builds
Covers three review findings: the candidate tests install the alias as well
as the package; the promotion checks every stable dist-tag; the checkouts
keep no token while dependencies install and builds run, and only the bump
push gets one. Nightly also files its blocker when no verified candidate
was found.

- Line 215: Update the release-plan logic that sets `previous` so
maintenance-line candidates use that line’s stable version as their upgrade
baseline, while preserving `registry.distTags.latest` for the promotion recheck.
Add a release-plan test covering a `release/1.1.x` candidate when global latest
is `1.2.0`, verifying the line-specific baseline is used.
- Line 257: Update tag-regression validation in checkCandidateTag and
registryChanges to check every name in the publication set, not only
packageName. Pass the publication names, including the alias supplied to
planRelease, through checkCandidateTag and recheckGates, and ensure the checks
run before both staging and promotion publishes.
Review comments at @.github/workflows/nightly.yml:
- Line 103: Update the Nightly candidate lookup that assigns `previous` from
`npmView` so a missing package yields an empty string, while all other registry
errors still fail the step. Handle this specifically in the Nightly caller
rather than changing the shared `npmView` behavior used by release gating, and
add a test covering the missing-package Nightly path.
Review comments at @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 336: Include the post-publication Check the dist-tags outcome in the
blocker condition so a failed verification after a successful Publish release
files a blocker even when the alias smoke step is skipped. Add or update the
workflow test to cover this sequence, preserving the existing blocker cases.
- Line 168: Move dependency installation and candidate builds in the stage and
release jobs to a job without id-token: write, then pass the built output to the
publishing jobs as an artifact. Before choosing the artifact contents, verify
that they include everything scripts/release.mjs reads from source/; keep

Check tag regression for every name that publication moves.
checkCandidateTag and registryChanges apply tagRegression only to packageName. scripts/release.mjs publishes the alias and the compatibility names with the same --tag distTag. The code comment states that no publish moves a dist-tag backwards. This check does not enforce that for the other names.
The gap becomes material only after the names diverge. A publish that fails partway can leave an earlier name, such as the alias, on the new version while the primary package is not. A later run with a lower version can then move that name's tag backwards. The primary-only check does not catch this.
Apply the same tagRegression check to each name in the publication set, and do it before both the staging publish and the promotion publish. The alias name is already passed to planRelease. checkCandidateTag and recheckGates do not receive it, so the publication names must be passed through to those checks.

Update tag-regression validation in checkCandidateTag and registryChanges to check every name in the publication set, not only packageName. Pass the publication names, including the alias supplied to planRelease, through checkCandidateTag and recheckGates, and ensure the checks run before both staging and promotion publishes.

Fixed in 145357e. The class is: a tag-regression check that reads one name while a publication moves several. publishedNames() in release-packages.cjs lists every publishable name (package, compatibility scoped package, alias). The plan outputs it as names. checkCandidateTag (before staging) and recheckGates (before promotion) check every name. A name the registry does not have yet has no tag to move backwards. A test covers an alias left ahead of the package by a partial publish.

@wjarka The checks now cover the planned names before staging and promotion. The regression test covers an alias left ahead after a partial publish; I did not run it.
Verification is inconclusive:.github/workflows/release.yml Line 116 derives names from the dispatch checkout, but publishing reads manifests from the selected source checkout. I could not verify that those sets always match, including for rollback.
Could you verify the names against the selected source commit and retry? I am not marking the finding as addressed yet.

Learning: Within repository "hearsay-tools/squawk", only for files matching one of [".github/scripts/release-plan.cjs"]: When reviewing release-planner dist-tag regression checks, verify that candidate staging and stable promotion reject backward tag moves for every publishable name, including aliases and compatibility names that may be ahead after a partial publish. A name not yet present on the registry has no tag to regress.

Keep id-token: write out of dependency installation and build steps.
The stage and release jobs grant id-token: write at job level. GitHub does not scope this permission to individual steps. Both jobs run pnpm install --frozen-lockfile and the build in the same job, so code from those steps can request an OIDC token. That token can be exchanged for npm trusted publication before the intended publish step runs. The affected lines are .github/workflows/release.yml 139 and 168–175 in stage, and 220 and 292–299 in release. persist-credentials: false removes the Git credential from checkout. It does not remove the OIDC request capability. Settings applied only at publish time do not protect the earlier steps.
Provenance differs by job. stage is added by this PR. The release job already had job-level id-token: write and a pre-publish install on the base. This PR adds a second install and candidate build in that job.
The lifecycle-script path is narrow. pnpm-workspace.yaml allows only esbuild and sets @ast-grep/cli to false, so other dependency lifecycle scripts stay blocked under a pnpm version that honors allowBuilds. The setup steps do not pin a pnpm version, so that narrowing depends on the CI version. The main path is build-time code. npm run build executes project and dependency code, and that code can use the job's OIDC request capability.
Move dependency installation and the candidate builds into a job without id-token: write. Pass the built output to the publish jobs as an artifact. Before you do this, confirm that the artifact contains everything scripts/release.mjs reads from source/.

Not changed in this PR, and the reason is a design one. The base release.yml already installed and built in the job that holds id-token: write and the production environment. This PR keeps that shape for stage. A safe split must carry the built trees, the stamped manifests and .git to the publish job, because release.mjs reads git rev-parse HEAD for the published source check. It also has to validate that artifact, and that changes the trust boundary of the whole release path. Several things narrow the exposure meanwhile. Both publishing jobs need the production environment, which can require reviewer approval. The built code is a commit that already passed the merge queue, installed with a frozen lockfile. pnpm-workspace.yaml lets only esbuild run install scripts. I am raising the split with the maintainer as a follow-up, instead of changing the publish path here without a run to prove it.

Filed as follow-up #3321 (#3321): build in a job without id-token, publish a validated artifact from a separate job. This PR keeps the shape the base workflow already had.

@wjarka Thanks for the context. I understand the decision to validate the artifact boundary in follow-up #3321 rather than change the publish path here.
The build steps still have access to the job’s OIDC capability, so I’m not marking the finding as addressed.

# Continuous integration
### Recurring CI failure sweeps
Node-side browser-test API requests send `Connection: close`. The synchronous agent-browser commands can block the test process long enough for a fixture server to expire an idle connection before Node handles its close event. CI diagnostics captured reused sockets after 6–23 seconds without an event-loop tick, followed by `UND_ERR_SOCKET`. Fresh connections avoid that stale pool; the real browser and application server keep their normal connection policies. No request retries are added.

Covers four review findings: tag-regression checks every name a release
publishes; a maintenance candidate upgrades from its own stable dist-tag;
Nightly treats a package missing from the registry as no upgrade
baseline; a failed dist-tag check after promotion files a blocker.

Reject a rollback from a maintenance branch, or select that branch’s release line.
Defect class: rollback branch/line mismatch. A rollback dispatched from release/1.1.x can select a tag below the global latest version 1.2.1 and produce version 1.2.2. The workflow then stamps 1.2.2 on the release/1.1.x dispatch checkout and targets that branch with the bump PR. This changes the maintenance branch to the wrong version line. The evidenced path is .github/scripts/release-plan.cjs Lines 243-250 and .github/workflows/release.yml Lines 366-371 and 392-394. Restrict global rollback to main, or make rollback selection and stamping branch-specific. As per path instructions, “name the concrete defect class” and “list every evidenced instance with its file and line location.”

Publish only the package set that the release plan checked.
The plan reads the package names from the dispatch checkout (.github/workflows/release.yml:116). The publish steps read the packages from source/ (scripts/release.mjs:25-32, :153-162). The candidate-tag check and the promotion recheck use the planned names (.github/workflows/release.yml:189-191, :320-323).
When source_sha differs from the dispatch commit, the two sets can differ. For example, a rollback to an older commit can select a commit where a package is public and the dispatch commit has it private, or the reverse. A publishable name that exists only in source/ can be published to next and then to latest without its candidate-tag check or promotion recheck. A name that the plan lists but that is private in source/ fails the candidate-tag check, so that direction blocks the release rather than publishing silently.
Add a guard before the first publish. It should compare the publishable names from source/ with the planned names, and fail when they differ. Alternatively, derive the planned names from the source_sha checkout instead of the dispatch checkout.

File a blocker when publication stops after publishing only some names.
Defect class: partial-publication failure without blocker coverage. scripts/release.mjs publishes names in sequence and emits step outputs only after every publish completes. If a later name fails, .github/workflows/release.yml Lines 193-199 or 325-336 can leave earlier names published. Candidate tests or post-publication checks then skip, so the blocker condition at Line 446 sees none of its failure outcomes. The stable case can leave dist-tags inconsistent without an open release blocker. Detect partial publication on both failure paths without filing a blocker for a failure that published nothing. Add a test for failure after the first successful name. (raw.githubusercontent.com) As per path instructions, “name the concrete defect class” and “list every evidenced instance with its file and line location.”
