Every ship-path skill (`metta-ship`, `metta-propose` at its ship opt-in, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, `metta-fix-gap`) ends after the PR merge and main fast-forward + rebuild, leaving the shipped work unreleased until someone remembers to run `/metta-release` on demand. In practice this means: + +- **Releases lag behind ships.** Shipped changes accumulate on main untagged; `metta release status` reports a growing unreleased backlog, and the changelog/tag history stops corresponding to what actually landed. Anyone consuming the project (developers pulling main, tooling reading tags, the statusline reading version state) sees a stale version. +- **The manual step is easy to forget and easy to get wrong.** The bump derivation, the cut, and the tag push are all human-triggered, so consistency depends on discipline rather than the framework — the opposite of metta's spec-driven, orchestrated lifecycle. +- **The one automated-ish path we do have is broken in a repeatable way.** `metta release cut --github` has failed identically on both real cuts to date (v0.5.0 and v0.6.0): the GitHub-release step runs before the tag exists on the remote. `gh release create` requires the pushed tag, but the pipeline cuts locally pre-push by design, so the GitHub release step is guaranteed to fail every time it is used in the natural order. Both releases required manual repair. + +Affected parties: internal developers running any ship-path skill on metta (and, once metta is adopted elsewhere, any project using ship-path skills), plus anyone relying on tags/GitHub releases as the record of what shipped. + +## Proposal + +Make version cutting an automatic, default-on part of the ship step, governed by a new config knob, reusing the existing release machinery end to end. + +### 1. Config: `release.on_ship` + +- Add `on_ship` to `ReleaseConfigSchema` in `src/schemas/project-config.ts` as an enum `auto | prompt | off`. +- Default is `auto` via Zod `.default('auto')`; an omitted key means `auto`; `metta install` scaffolds the key explicitly. This is the same three-legged default-on pattern already used by `uat.enforce_on_ship`. +- Add config escape hatch `release.allow_major_pre_1: boolean` (default `false`) — see safety rails below. + +### 2. Ship-step behavior (all ship-path skills) + +In every ship-path skill — `metta-ship`, `metta-propose` at its ship opt-in, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, `metta-fix-gap` — **after** the PR merge and main fast-forward + rebuild, the skill runs the release flow: + +1. `metta release status` to establish current version and unreleased shipped changes since the last tag. +2. Derive the bump (major/minor/patch) from the shipped changes since the last tag. +3. `metta release cut --yes` with the derived bump. The release commit + annotated tag land on main. +4. The tag push rides the already-authorized main push (`--follow-tags`) — never a force push, never a separate unconfirmed push. + +The cut happens **only after the user-approved merge** — never at a PR-open hand-back. If a ship path stops at "PR opened, awaiting review," no cut occurs. + +Mode semantics: + +- `auto` — run the flow above without asking. +- `prompt` — report the unreleased change count and recommended bump, then ask before cutting. Fail-closed in non-interactive contexts: skip the cut and emit a loud notice (never cut without an answer). +- `off` — current behavior; releases remain on-demand via `/metta-release`. + +### 3. Fixed cut/publish sequencing (end the `--github` double-failure) + +The ship-step release sequence MUST be ordered so the GitHub release is created only after the tag exists on the remote: + +merge → pull/fast-forward → cut (local release commit + annotated tag, **no** `--github`) → push main with `--follow-tags` (riding the authorized push) → **then** `gh release create` against the now-pushed tag, with graceful degradation (warn and skip) if `gh` is absent. + +Whether this lands as a `ReleasePipeline` reorder (split cut/publish phases) or as the skill running the publish step post-push is a design-phase decision, but ending the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 double-failure pattern is a requirement of this change, not an implementation nicety. + +### 4. Safety rails + +1. **Pre-1.0 MAJOR guard.** Derived MAJOR bumps are never auto-applied while the project version is < 1.0.0 — 1.0.0 is reserved for the npm-publish milestone. When derivation says major pre-1.0, auto mode cuts **minor** instead and reports the downgrade prominently. `release.allow_major_pre_1: true` opts out of the guard. +2. **Warn-and-continue.** A failing cut never un-merges or blocks the completed ship. The skill reports the failure and continues (the same posture as UAT generation): the change is shipped, and the tag can be cut on-demand later via `/metta-release`. +3. **Missing `release` config key.** Recorded assumption: when the `release` key is entirely absent from project config (release commands refuse today — `src/cli/commands/release.ts:103`), ship-path skills **skip** the cut with a one-line loud notice — not an error, not a ship blocker. +4. **No new mutation surface.** Tokens, UAT enforcement, and gates are untouched. The only push involved is the already-authorized main push. + +### 5. Reuse, no second cut path + +The ship step reuses the existing `ReleasePipeline` (`src/release/release-pipeline.ts`) and the `/metta-release` machinery. No parallel cut implementation is introduced. + +### 6. Guard/mint scoping + +Today `release cut` is Tier-2 scope `release:cut`, minted only by the `metta-release` skill (`.claude/hooks/metta-guard-bash.mjs`, `.claude/hooks/metta-session-mint.mjs`). Extend guard/mint scoping so the ship-path skills' release cut invocation is authorized in both fork and main-session contexts, without loosening authorization for anything else. + +### 7. Spec and test deltas + +- Spec deltas to the `release-versioning` capability (new `on_ship` config, mode semantics, safety rails, cut/publish ordering) and to `finalize-ship` ship-step wording (the ship step now includes the post-merge release flow). +- Grep-assert tests verifying every ship-path skill carries the post-merge release step, in line with the existing skill-content test pattern. + +## Impact + +- **`src/schemas/project-config.ts`** — `ReleaseConfigSchema` gains `on_ship` (enum, `.default('auto')`) and `allow_major_pre_1` (boolean, default `false`). Existing configs without these keys parse to the defaults; no migration needed. +- **`metta install` scaffolding** — scaffolded project config now writes `release.on_ship: auto` explicitly (mirroring `uat.enforce_on_ship`). +- **Ship-path skills** (`metta-ship`, `metta-propose` ship opt-in, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, `metta-fix-gap`) — each gains the post-merge release step with mode handling, safety rails, and warn-and-continue failure posture. Default behavior change: ships now cut a release automatically unless configured otherwise. +- **`src/release/release-pipeline.ts` / `/metta-release`** — cut/publish sequencing changes so the GitHub release runs against the pushed tag (pipeline phase split or skill-side publish step — design-phase call). On-demand `/metta-release` keeps working and benefits from the same ordering fix. +- **Guard/mint hooks** (`.claude/hooks/metta-guard-bash.mjs`, `.claude/hooks/metta-session-mint.mjs`) — `release:cut` authorization widened to ship-path skills in fork and main-session contexts. +- **Specs** — `release-versioning` and `finalize-ship` capability specs updated; new grep-assert tests over ship-path skill content. +- **Push semantics** — the main push in ship paths gains `--follow-tags`; still rides the single user-authorized push, never force, never a second unconfirmed push. +- **Not affected** — token accounting, UAT generation/enforcement, gate runner, PR-open hand-back flows (no cut before merge), and projects with `release.on_ship: off` (identical to today's behavior). + +## Out of Scope + +- **Publishing to npm** — 1.0.0 and npm publish remain a separate future milestone; this change deliberately guards against accidentally reaching major pre-1.0. +- **Changing bump-derivation rules** — the existing derivation from shipped changes is reused as-is; only the pre-1.0 major→minor downgrade layer is added on top. +- **Cutting at PR-open** — no release activity at PR-open hand-back; the cut is strictly post-user-approved-merge. +- **New push authorization** — no new push flows, no force pushes, no auto-push beyond the already-authorized main push. +- **Changing tokens, UAT, or gates** — enforcement and generation behavior of all three is untouched. +- **A second cut implementation** — no ship-specific release code path; `ReleasePipeline` is the single cut mechanism. +- **Retroactively repairing v0.5.0/v0.6.0 GitHub releases** — this change fixes the pattern going forward; historical release records are not modified. +- **Making `release` config mandatory** — projects without a `release` key keep working; ship paths skip the cut with a notice rather than forcing adoption.

Optionality keeps existing `releases.yaml` files parsing without migration; strict mode is preserved. +2. **Cut change** — in `ReleasePipeline.cut()` the `gh` step (release-pipeline.ts:509–528) is replaced: when `release.github_release === true`, the entry written at the `write-releases-record` step carries `github: 'pending'`; otherwise `'skipped'` (or the field is omitted). `createGithubRelease` is no longer invoked from `cut()`; the `--github` flag on `release cut` (src/cli/commands/release.ts:81) is retired or repurposed. +3. **New command** — `metta release sync-github` on a new `ReleasePipeline.syncGithub()` method (still one pipeline — not a second cut path): + - Load the record; select entries with `github: 'pending'`. + - For each, verify the tag is on the remote (`git ls-remote --tags origin `). Not pushed → leave pending, report. + - Probe `gh release view ` first (idempotency — `gh release create` fails on an existing release), then create via `createGithubRelease`, reusing the changelog-section extraction currently private in `extractChangelogSection()` for notes. + - Update the entry to `'created'` and `saveReleasesRecord()`. +4. **Skill sequence** — ship-path skills append `metta release sync-github` after the `--follow-tags` push; `/metta-release` (on-demand) does the same, satisfying the "on-demand keeps working with fixed sequencing" scenario. +5. **Guard/mint** — `sync-github` is added to `BLOCKED_TWO_WORD` under `release` in `.claude/hooks/metta-guard-bash.mjs` (Tier-2 scope key `release:sync-github`), minted alongside `release:cut` for `metta-release` and the ship-path skills in `metta-session-mint.mjs`, plus the `workflow-primer.ts` SYNC lists and their seam tests. Fork-tier ship skills get it free via the existing trusted-caller acceptance for Tier-2 subs (guard lines 881–883). + +## Pros + +- **Structurally impossible race** — `cut()` contains no gh call at all, so "gh before tag push" cannot recur by construction; strongest possible satisfaction of the sequencing requirement's "structurally impossible" scenario. +- **Idempotent, single reconciliation point** — `sync-github` can be re-run safely after any partial failure (push succeeded but gh was down, gh unauthenticated, network blip). The warn-and-continue posture gets a real remedy: "run `metta release sync-github`" instead of a hand-typed `gh release create`. +- **Self-healing** — a release whose gh step failed on one ship is picked up on the next ship's sync automatically; no releases silently stay unpublished. +- **Clean cut semantics** — `cut()` becomes purely local (commit + tag), which matches its documented "never pushes" contract better than the current embedded gh call. +- **Record as ledger** — the releases record already exists and is the natural source of truth for "what was released"; the approach reuses it rather than inventing a new state file. + +## Cons + +- **The pending→created write fights the release commit.** This is the structural flaw. `releases.yaml` is committed inside `cut()` (`chore(release): X`, release-pipeline.ts:474–490) and pushed with the authorized main push. `sync-github` then mutates `releases.yaml` *after* that push. Every resolution is bad: + - Leave it uncommitted → dirty tracked file on main, which **fails the next cut's `clean-tree` step** (release-pipeline.ts:273–287) — the mechanism breaks its own pipeline. + - Commit it → a stray `chore` commit on main needing a **second push**, which the spec forbids ("no additional push is issued without user confirmation"). + - Move status to a `.metta/` side file → the record is no longer the ledger; the approach's core premise (record store as reconciliation source) evaporates, and a new state file + schema appears anyway. +- **The pending flag is derived state.** Whether a GitHub release is missing is already fully determined by `releases.yaml` entries + `git ls-remote` + `gh release view`. Persisting it duplicates a truth two systems already hold, with the usual drift risk (flag says pending, release exists; flag says created, release was deleted). +- **Self-healing crosses the change's explicit scope boundary.** intent.md Out of Scope: "Retroactively repairing v0.5.0/v0.6.0 GitHub releases — historical release records are not modified." A full-record scan would (a) try to publish every backfilled historical entry and (b) rewrite historical entries' status — both sides of that boundary. Constraining the scan to "the entry just cut" salvages scope compliance but deletes the reconciliation/self-healing pros, leaving only the machinery. +- **More machinery than the requirement needs.** The spec asks only that the gh step run after the push. A stateless post-push publish step (skill-side `gh release create`, or a tag-scoped command) meets every scenario with zero schema/state changes. +- **Guard/mint surface** — a new Tier-2 subcommand touches the guard block map, the mint scope map, the `workflow-primer.ts` SYNC lists, and their seam tests. Not hard, but it is the third hook-surface delta this change already carries for `release:cut`. +- **`--github` flag semantics change** for direct human CLI users — the documented immediate-publish behavior of `release cut --github` silently becomes record-only. + +## Complexity + +**Medium-high — the largest of the candidate approaches.** Touched: `src/schemas/releases-record.ts` (schema field), `src/release/release-pipeline.ts` (gh step removal + new `syncGithub()` + notes-extraction exposure + a remote-tag check helper), `src/cli/commands/release.ts` (new subcommand, `--github` retirement), both guard/mint hooks + `workflow-primer.ts` SYNC lists, six-plus skill templates. Test surface (1:1 ratio convention): `schemas-releases-record.test.ts` (field + old-record compat), `release-pipeline.test.ts` (cut no longer calls gh; pending written), a new sync suite (tag-not-pushed, gh absent/unauthenticated/exists-already/create-fails, record update, idempotent re-run — each needing injected `GhExec` and a git-remote seam that does not exist today), `cli-release.test.ts`, guard/mint seam tests, grep-assert skill tests. The dirty-tree interaction (con #1) additionally forces a design decision that no amount of tests makes clean. + +## Fit + +- **"No second cut path"** — technically satisfied: `syncGithub()` lives on `ReleasePipeline` and cutting still goes only through `cut()`. The gh step is relocated, not duplicated. +- **"Out of scope: retroactive repair"** — **violated as specified.** The approach's advertised self-healing is precisely the retroactive repair the intent excludes, and status stamping "modifies historical release records," which the intent names verbatim as out of scope. A latest-entry-only restriction restores fit but guts the approach's differentiator. +- **Sequencing requirement** — fully satisfied, strongest of the options. +- **Push discipline** — the status-update write pressures a second push (see Cons); the stateless variants have no such pressure. +- **Existing patterns** — record-store round-trips and Zod-validated writes match house style; a post-push mutation of a file the release commit just froze does not match anything in the codebase. + +## Verdict + +Not recommended in this form. The approach's two selling points cancel against the change's own constraints: the pending-status write lands after the release commit is pushed, so it either dirties main (breaking the next cut's clean-tree gate), demands a second unconfirmed push (spec-forbidden), or retreats into a side state file that abandons the record-as-ledger premise; and the self-healing full-record scan is exactly the retroactive repair the intent declares out of scope. The pending flag itself is redundant derived state — git tags plus the GitHub API already answer "what is unpublished" — so the schema change and record semantics buy nothing a stateless check does not. What is worth keeping from this exploration: moving the gh call out of `cut()` entirely (making the race structurally impossible) and giving the post-push publish step an idempotent, re-runnable form. Both are achievable with a stateless, tag-scoped publish step (skill-side `gh release create` against the just-pushed tag, or a minimal `release publish-github ` that probes-then-creates) with no schema change, no record mutation, and a far smaller guard and test surface — that direction should be preferred over the deferred-publish record. diff --git a/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-pipeline-split.md b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-pipeline-split.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a8ec3127 --- /dev/null +++ b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-pipeline-split.md @@ -0,0 +1,84 @@ +# Research: ReleasePipeline Phase Split (cut vs. publish) + +Approach evaluated: restructure `src/release/release-pipeline.ts` into two distinct phases — a local **cut** (release commit + annotated tag, never touches the network) and a **publish** (GitHub release via `gh`), exposed as separate CLI subcommands so skills can interleave the authorized push between them: `cut` → `git push --follow-tags` → `publish`. + +## Approach + +Today `ReleasePipeline.cut()` runs a single ordered step list; its `MUTATION_STEPS` constant is `['backfill-record', 'write-version-file', 'write-releases-record', 'regen-changelog', 'commit', 'annotated-tag', 'gh']` (release-pipeline.ts:106–114). The final `'gh'` step (lines 509–528) calls `createGithubRelease()` from `src/release/gh-release.ts` when `release.github_release === true && opts.github === true` — i.e. **inside** the cut, before any push, since the cut never pushes by spec ("Release Cut Safety Constraints"). That embedded ordering is exactly the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 double-failure: `gh release create` ran against a tag that did not yet exist on the remote. + +Grounded fact that makes this worse than a mere failure: when the named tag does not exist on the remote, `gh release create` **silently creates one from the latest state of the default branch** (not from the local annotated tag), unless `--verify-tag` is passed to abort instead.[^1] So the current in-cut `gh` step can mint a *wrong* remote tag, not just fail.

The step-record style, abort points, and mutation-group restore logic are untouched — `cut()` still ends at `annotated-tag`. +- New method `publishGithub(tagArg?: string, ghExec?: GhExec): Promise` on the same class (keeps `extractChangelogSection()` reachable as a private method — no relocation needed). Ordered steps in the existing `ReleaseStep[]` idiom: + 1. `config-check` — `requireReleaseConfig()`; fail if `release.github_release !== true` (mirrors the CLI fail-fast at release.ts:109). + 2. `resolve-tag` — explicit `tagArg`, else `listReleaseTags(projectRoot, release.tag_prefix)[0]` (newest release tag). + 3. `tag-exists-local` — `tagExists()` from `src/release/git-release-tags.ts`. + 4. `tag-on-remote` — `git ls-remote --tags origin `; fail with an actionable "push first: `git push --follow-tags`" message when absent. Belt-and-braces on top of `--verify-tag`, and gives a typed local failure instead of a gh error. + 5. `notes` — `extractChangelogSection(changelogPath, version)` where `version = tag.slice(tag_prefix.length)`. + 6. `gh` — `createGithubRelease()` (gh-release.ts unchanged in shape; add `--verify-tag` to its `gh release create` argv). The function already never throws — every failure is a typed `GhOutcome` (`missing-binary` / `unauthenticated` / `failed`), which satisfies the spec's graceful-degradation requirement for the ship path with zero new code. + +**2.

Naming: `publish-github` over bare `publish` so the word stays scoped (npm publish etc. remains unclaimed) and the guard rule reads unambiguously. +- Skills then run: `metta release cut --bump --yes` → push `--follow-tags` riding the authorized main push → `metta release publish-github ` (only when `github_release: true`). + +**3. Guard/mint hooks (both `src/templates/hooks/` and the live `.claude/hooks/` copies — they are kept identical):** + +- `metta-guard-bash.mjs`: `BLOCKED_TWO_WORD` release entry becomes `new Set(['cut', 'publish-github'])`. `release status` stays on `ALLOWED_TWO_WORD`; `release ` stays fail-closed, so nothing is accidentally opened. +- `metta-session-mint.mjs`: `SKILL_SCOPES` `'metta-release'` entry grows from `['release:cut']` to `['release:cut', 'release:publish-github']`; the ship-path skill scopes gain the same pair (this scoping work is already mandated for `release:cut` by the change's "Guard Authorization For Ship-Path Release Cut" requirement — publish-github rides the identical mechanism, it just doubles the new scope-key count from one to two). +- SYNC obligations: the Forbidden bullet in `src/delivery/workflow-primer.ts` (line 91) must add `release publish-github`; the seam test in `tests/delivery.test.ts` pins drift, and `tests/metta-guard-mint-seam.test.ts` pins hook-template equality. + +**4. Skill/spec migration:** + +- `.claude/skills/metta-release/SKILL.md` + identical `src/templates/skills/metta-release/SKILL.md`: step 3 drops `--github`; new post-cut steps — if the user opted into GitHub publication, ask for explicit push confirmation (AskUserQuestion), run `git push --follow-tags origin main`, then `metta release publish-github `. This amends the current "Never run `git push` from this skill" rule to "never push without the user's explicit confirmation," which is what the constitution actually requires and what the change spec's "On-demand release keeps working with fixed sequencing" scenario demands. (Alternative: keep never-push and print both commands for the user to run — but then the GitHub release is manual again and the on-demand fix is only advisory.) +- `spec/specs/release-versioning/spec.md`: the base "Opt-In GitHub Release Publication" requirement (its scenario says the GitHub release exists "WHEN the release cut completes") and "Graceful Degradation When gh Unavailable" both describe gh as an in-cut step — the change spec needs a MODIFIED entry for each; currently the change spec only ADDs the sequencing requirement and does not carry these two MODIFIEDs. + +## Pros + +- **Structurally enforces the ordering the spec demands.** "Tag-not-on-remote race structurally impossible" is met in code, not just in skill prose: `publish-github` pre-flights `tag-on-remote` and passes `--verify-tag`, so the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 mode cannot recur even if a skill mis-orders the steps — and the silent wrong-tag creation `gh` performs on a missing remote tag[^1] is closed off. +- **Honors "Single Cut Path Through ReleasePipeline" cleanly.** One `cut()`, one `publishGithub()`, both on the existing class; ship path and `/metta-release` call the identical entry points. No second cut implementation, no ship-only branch inside the pipeline. +- **Simplifies `cut()`.** The cut becomes purely local and loses two options (`github`, `ghExec`) and a result field; the CLI fail-fast for `--github` disappears. The mutation group ends at `annotated-tag`, which matches the mental model the spec already teaches ("the cut never pushes"). +- **Maximal reuse.** `createGithubRelease()`, `GhOutcome`, `extractChangelogSection()`, `listReleaseTags()`, `tagExists()`, `renderSteps()` are all reused verbatim or nearly so. The graceful-degradation behavior the change spec requires for the ship path is inherited for free. +- **Independently retryable.** A failed publish (gh outage, auth lapse) is re-runnable as `metta release publish-github v0.7.0` without re-cutting — today the only remedy is the hand-typed `gh release create` command from the warning text. +- **Fits the house style.** Ordered `ReleaseStep[]` records, typed outcomes, imperative-shell class method, Commander subcommand, guard fail-closed default for the new word — every piece lands in an existing pattern. + +## Cons + +- **New Tier-2 mutating CLI surface.** `publish-github` is a network-mutating command that must be guard-blocked and scope-minted. That means edits in four hook/primer locations (guard template + live copy, mint template + live copy, workflow-primer Forbidden bullet) plus their seam tests — mechanical but easy to half-do, and the seam tests will fail loudly until all are consistent. +- **Breaking CLI change: `--github` on `cut` goes away.** Consumers are the metta-release skill (updated in lockstep) and humans' muscle memory. Pre-1.0 this is acceptable, but a human running the old `metta release cut --github` gets an unknown-option error; a one-release stub that errors with "use `release publish-github` after pushing" would soften it at the cost of a little code. +- **Base-spec churn beyond the change spec's current deltas.** Two existing requirements ("Opt-In GitHub Release Publication", "Graceful Degradation When gh Unavailable") describe gh inside the cut and need MODIFIED entries the change spec doesn't yet carry — a spec-authoring follow-up, not just code. +- **The on-demand skill must now touch push.** Either the metta-release skill gains a user-confirmed `git push --follow-tags` step (a behavior change to a skill whose current rule is "never push"), or the on-demand GitHub release stays a manual afterthought. The confirmed-push route is constitution-compliant (explicit confirmation) but is a real semantic change reviewers should see. +- **Two commands where there was one.** The happy on-demand path grows from one CLI call to cut + push + publish. For the ship path this is exactly what's wanted; for a human in a terminal it's one more command to remember (mitigated by the cut's closing hint text naming the next commands). + +## Complexity + +Moderate.

Grep-assert skill tests are new in this change regardless. Estimated net-new test cases: ~12–15. + +## Fit + +Strong. The "no second cut path" constraint is satisfied by construction — the split *narrows* `cut()` rather than duplicating it, and both callers (ship path, on-demand skill, human terminal) hit the same two methods. The step-record pattern, typed `GhOutcome`, guard fail-closed word handling, template-copied skills, and Zod-validated config are all existing conventions this approach extends without bending. The change spec's own wording anticipates it: "local cut … invoked without `--github`" and "the GitHub-release step … is ordered after the push rather than inside the cut" describe precisely a phase split. The main fit friction is procedural, not architectural: the change spec must grow two MODIFIED requirements for the base spec's gh wording, and the metta-release skill's never-push rule must be renegotiated to confirmed-push. + +## Verdict + +Recommend this approach. It is the only shape that makes the required ordering *structurally* impossible to violate rather than instruction-enforced — `publish-github` cannot run usefully against an unpushed tag (`tag-on-remote` pre-flight + `--verify-tag`), whereas keeping gh inside `cut()` and merely telling skills to omit `--github` leaves the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 failure one flag away and leaves `gh`'s silent wrong-tag creation live for on-demand users. The cost is a bounded, mechanical spread: one new Tier-2 subcommand with its guard/mint/primer sync set (work already opened by this change's `release:cut` scoping), one CLI flag removal whose only real consumer is a skill updated in the same commit, and two additional MODIFIED spec deltas. Reuse is maximal (gh edge, notes extraction, tag helpers, step rendering all unchanged), `cut()` gets simpler, and a failed publish becomes independently retryable — a strict improvement over the current remedy text. Adopt with: `publish-github` as the subcommand name, `--verify-tag` added to `createGithubRelease`, a hard `tag-on-remote` pre-flight, `--github` removed outright (optionally a one-release error stub pointing at the new command), and the metta-release skill updated to confirmed-push → publish. + +[^1]: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create accessed 2026-08-26 — "If a matching git tag does not yet exist, one will automatically get created from the latest state of the default branch"; `--verify-tag` aborts if the tag is missing. diff --git a/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-skill-side-publish.md b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-skill-side-publish.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..35adc6f6 --- /dev/null +++ b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research-skill-side-publish.md @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +# Research: Skill-Side GitHub Publish + +Approach evaluated for the automatic-version-cut-on-ship change: keep the `ReleasePipeline` TypeScript untouched (except possibly deprecating `--github`), and have the ship-path skill instructions orchestrate the fixed sequence themselves — cut without `--github`, push with `--follow-tags`, then run `gh release create` directly from the skill. + +## Approach + +The six ship-path skills (`metta-ship`, `metta-propose` ship opt-in, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, `metta-fix-gap`) gain a post-merge release stage in their markdown instructions: + +1. `metta release status --json` (already on the guard's read-only allow-list, `ALLOWED_TWO_WORD` in `.claude/hooks/metta-guard-bash.mjs:67`). +2.

The release stage inserts between the fast-forward/rebuild and the final hand-back, exactly where the spec's "Post-Merge Release Flow On Ship Paths" requirement positions it. + +**The push.** Today the tag never leaves the local repo: the CLI prints "The tag was NOT pushed. Publish it manually with: git push --follow-tags" (`release.ts:30`). Under this approach the skill appends `--follow-tags` to the main push it already performs post-merge. `git push --follow-tags` pushes annotated tags reachable from the pushed ref — no force, no second push, satisfying the "rides the single authorized push" constraint. + +**The gh call.** The guard hook classifies only `metta` invocations (plus a write-target check); `gh` and `git` commands pass through entirely unguarded — so the skill-side `gh release create` needs **zero guard or mint-hook work**. The command should carry `--verify-tag`, which per the gh manual "abort[s] in case the git tag doesn't already exist in the remote repository"[^1]. This matters doubly: without it, `gh release create` on a not-yet-pushed tag does not fail — it **silently auto-creates a tag from the latest state of the default branch**[^1], which is precisely the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 corruption mode (wrong remote tag, subsequent `--follow-tags` push rejected). The current `createGithubRelease` in `gh-release.ts:91` does *not* pass `--verify-tag`; the skill-side command can, making the mis-ordering structurally impossible even if a future skill edit reorders steps — the spec's "Tag-not-on-remote race structurally impossible" scenario gets a mechanical enforcement, not just an ordering convention. + +**Release notes.** Yes, the content is accessible. `cut` regenerates `docs/changelog.md` (`regen-changelog` step) and commits it in the release commit, with a `## — ` section per release — the exact section `extractChangelogSection` (`release-pipeline.ts:540`) feeds to gh today. The skill (an AI agent) reads `docs/changelog.md` and passes that section via `--notes-file -` with a heredoc (the same fragile-quoting fallback the ship skills already prescribe for `gh pr create`). Fallbacks if extraction is awkward: `--generate-notes` (GitHub-generated) or `--notes-from-tag` (tag annotation — poor, the tag message is just `Release `). Optional micro-enhancement without violating "no second cut path": have `cut --json` include the extracted notes string in `ReleaseCutResult` so the skill needn't re-parse the changelog (one field, ~5 lines, reuses the existing private method). + +**Guard/mint changes still required (shared with every approach).** Five of the six ship paths run as `context: fork` / `agent: metta-skill-host`; the guard's Tier-2 branch auto-accepts any blocked-two-word call from a trusted fork caller (`metta-guard-bash.mjs:881`), so `release cut --yes` from those forks is **already authorized today** with no changes. Only `metta-fix-gap` is a main-session Tier-2 skill; its mint scope (`SKILL_SCOPES['metta-fix-gap']: ['fix-gap', 'complete', 'finalize']` in `metta-session-mint.mjs`) needs `release:cut` appended. This delta is identical under any approach and is not a differentiator. + +**On-demand `/metta-release` parity — yes, it needs the same fix.** The spec's "Single Cut Path" requirement demands the on-demand path "benefit from the same cut/push/GitHub sequencing fix," and today's `metta-release/SKILL.md` step 3 passes `--github` before any push (the live bug) while its rules say the skill "NEVER pushes." Under this approach the skill changes to: drop `--github`; when the user opted into GitHub publication, use `AskUserQuestion` to request explicit push authorization, run `git push --follow-tags origin main`, then `gh release create ... --verify-tag`; on decline, print both manual commands and stop. The "never pushes" rule relaxes to "pushes only with the user's explicit per-run confirmation," which is exactly the constitution's actual constraint ("No auto-push to remote without explicit user confirmation") — the current absolute rule was over-strict, and keeping it would make a correctly-sequenced GitHub release impossible for this skill. + +## Pros + +- **No pipeline surgery; smallest TypeScript delta.** The only defensible-but-optional code changes are a `--github` deprecation warning and the optional notes field in `cut --json`. `ReleasePipeline`, its 7-step mutation group, rollback semantics, and tests are untouched — lowest regression risk on the one code path that mutates version state. +- **The ordering fix lives where the ordering problem lives.** The push is already skill-side (it *must* be — "no auto-push without explicit user confirmation" means the CLI can never push, so no CLI-resident step can ever run *after* the push in one invocation). Any CLI-side alternative needs a second CLI entry point (`release publish`) that the skills would have to call at exactly the same point in their instructions — same drift surface, plus new code. Skill-side is the minimal-machinery expression of the settled sequence. +- **`--verify-tag` gives a structural guarantee** the current TypeScript path lacks: gh itself aborts if the tag is not on the remote, and prevents the silent wrong-tag auto-creation that caused the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 failures.[^1] +- **Zero guard/authorization surface for the publish step** — `gh` and `git` are unguarded; only the shared `release:cut` mint-scope addition for `metta-fix-gap` is needed. +- **Notes quality preserved**: the same changelog section the pipeline uses today reaches the release body; the AI reads a committed file, no plumbing needed. +- **Graceful degradation is natural in instruction mode**: "if `gh` is missing/unauthenticated, warn, report the manual command, continue" is one prose sentence, and warn-and-continue is already the mandated failure posture for the whole release stage. + +## Cons + +- **Degradation logic becomes prose, not typed code.** `gh-release.ts` encodes probe order (binary → auth → create) and typed outcomes with exact remedy strings; the skill version is an AI following instructions. Behavior is less deterministic and untestable by unit tests — only grep-asserts verify the *instructions* exist, not that they execute correctly. +- **`gh-release.ts` and the pipeline `gh` step become vestigial on all AI paths** — live-but-deprecated code whose broken ordering remains reachable by humans running `metta release cut --github` unless the flag is removed or warned on. Leaving it silently intact contradicts the spirit of "structurally impossible." +- **Notes extraction is soft-duplicated**: the `## — ` section heuristic exists in `extractChangelogSection` and again as prose in skill instructions; a changelog heading-format change must update both (mitigated by the optional `cut --json` notes field). +- **Sequence carried in 12 markdown files** (6 skills × 2 trees: `src/templates/skills/` and `.claude/skills/`). Drift is the standing risk of all skill-carried behavior. +- **`/metta-release` needs a rules change** (relaxing "NEVER pushes" to confirmed-push), which is a behavioral change to an existing skill contract, not just an addition. + +## Complexity + +Moderate, and mostly *already mandated by the spec regardless of approach*: the "Ship-Step Instructions" requirement obliges all six skill files to document the full release flow (modes, sequence, rails, posture), and the "Grep-Assert Coverage" requirement obliges the skill-content tests — so the 12-file instruction surface and its test scaffolding are a sunk cost common to every option. What this approach *adds* on top is only the gh command block (~6–10 lines per skill, or one shared canonical block). Drift mitigations already exist and transfer directly: + +- `tests/skill-uat-ship-gate.test.ts` is the exact template: a frozen byte-identical canonical sentence asserted once per file across all six ship skills in both trees, plus `indexOf`-ordering asserts (gate before `gh pr create`, before `gh pr merge`). A sibling `skill-release-ship-step.test.ts` asserts: canonical release-stage sentence present once; positioned after `git pull --ff-only` and before hand-back; `--follow-tags` present; `gh release create` appears after the push text; `--verify-tag` present; `metta-release/SKILL.md` no longer contains `--github`. +- `tests/cli-skills.test.ts` / `template-deploy-sync.test.ts` already pin template↔deployed byte-identity, so the two trees cannot diverge silently. + +TypeScript test surface: near zero — one `cli-release.test.ts` case if the `--github` deprecation warning is added; one pipeline test if the optional notes-in-JSON field is added. No changes to the mutation-group or rollback tests. + +## Fit + +Strong fit with the project's stated execution model — "instruction mode: metta manages state and specs while the AI tool executes the work." The division of labor lands cleanly: the CLI remains the sole authority over state mutations (version file, releases record, changelog, commit, tag — all inside the one `ReleasePipeline.cut` path, satisfying "Single Cut Path"), while remote-side effects (push, GitHub release) stay with the AI executor, which is *already* where every other remote interaction in the ship flow lives — `git push`, `gh pr create`, `gh pr checks --watch`, `gh pr merge`, `gh pr comment` are all skill-side today. A skill-side `gh release create` is the seventh gh/git command in an established pattern, not a new category. It also composes with the constitution's push constraint: because the CLI can never push, "GitHub release after push" can only be a post-push actor's job, and in this architecture the post-push actor is the skill. The main tension is philosophical: correctness of the ordering now rests on instructions + grep-asserts rather than compiled code — accepted elsewhere in this codebase for strictly heavier guarantees (the UAT merge gate). + +## Verdict + +Recommended, with two riders. This approach implements the settled sequence with the smallest possible TypeScript delta, puts the post-push GitHub step in the only place the architecture allows a post-push step to exist (the CLI is constitutionally barred from pushing), matches the established pattern where all seven existing remote gh/git operations are skill-side, and — via `--verify-tag` — delivers a *stronger* structural guarantee against the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 failure than the current TypeScript path has. Its real costs (12-file instruction surface, grep-assert-only verification) are almost entirely mandated by the spec for any approach, so they don't differentiate. Riders: (1) don't leave `--github` silently intact — emit a deprecation warning (or remove it) so the broken ordering is unreachable without notice, and require `--verify-tag` in the canonical skill sentence so the guarantee is grep-asserted; (2) update `/metta-release` in the same change — drop `--github`, add a user-confirmed `git push --follow-tags` followed by the same gh block — since the spec's on-demand-parity scenario cannot be met otherwise. Consider the optional `cut --json` notes field to eliminate the one genuine logic duplication (changelog section extraction). + +[^1]: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create accessed 2026-08-26 diff --git a/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research.md b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a1b8ae6d --- /dev/null +++ b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/research.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +# Research: automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make + +## Decision: Local-only cut + skill-side verified GitHub publish + +### Approaches Considered + +1. **Skill-side publish** (selected) — `ReleasePipeline.cut()` becomes purely local (the `'gh'` step and `--github` flag are removed); ship-path skills run the settled sequence themselves: `release status` → derive bump → `release cut --bump --yes` → main push with `--follow-tags` (riding the single authorized push) → `gh release create --verify-tag --notes-file -` only when `release.github_release: true`, warn-and-continue on any gh failure. See `research-skill-side-publish.md`. +2. **ReleasePipeline phase split** — same local-only `cut()`, plus a new Tier-2 CLI subcommand `metta release publish-github [tag]` wrapping `createGithubRelease` with `tag-on-remote` pre-flight. Rejected as the primary shape: the skills would still have to invoke it at exactly the same post-push point (the CLI is constitutionally barred from pushing, so no CLI-resident step can follow the push in one invocation), giving the same instruction-drift surface **plus** ~60 lines of new CLI, a new mutating guard word, a second mint scope key, primer/seam-test sync across four hook locations, and a breaking `--github` removal error path. Its distinctive benefits (typed degradation, independent retryability) are substantially matched by `--verify-tag` + an idempotent `gh release view` probe in the skill block. See `research-pipeline-split.md`. +3. **Deferred-publish record (`release sync-github`)** — record a `pending` GitHub-release marker in `releases.yaml`, reconcile later. Rejected: the pending→created status write lands after the release commit is pushed, so it either dirties main (breaking the next cut's `clean-tree` gate), demands a second unconfirmed push (spec-forbidden), or retreats to a side state file that abandons its own premise; the self-healing full-record scan is exactly the retroactive repair the intent declares out of scope; and the flag is redundant derived state (`releases.yaml` + `git ls-remote` + `gh release view` already answer "what is unpublished"). See `research-deferred-publish-record.md`. + +### Rationale + +- **The post-push step can only live with the post-push actor.** The constitution forbids the CLI from pushing, and the push is already skill-side in every ship path. All seven existing remote operations (`git push`, `gh pr create/checks/merge/comment`) are skill-side; `gh release create` is the eighth in an established pattern, not a new category. +- **The structural guarantee is stronger skill-side than the status quo.** Per the gh manual (https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create, accessed 2026-08-26), `gh release create` on a tag missing from the remote does not fail — it **silently creates a wrong tag from default-branch HEAD** (the actual v0.5.0/v0.6.0 corruption mode). `--verify-tag` makes gh abort instead. Removing the `'gh'` step from `cut()` (all three researchers converge on this) makes the in-cut race impossible by construction; `--verify-tag` in the grep-asserted canonical skill sentence closes the mis-ordering case. +- **Smallest TypeScript delta on the one code path that mutates version state.** Pipeline change is a deletion (drop `'gh'` from `MUTATION_STEPS`, lines 509–528, `github`/`ghExec` options) plus one optional additive field: emit the extracted changelog notes in `cut --json` so skills need not re-parse `docs/changelog.md` (kills the only real logic duplication). +- **Guard surface is near zero.** The guard classifies only `metta` invocations; `gh`/`git` pass unguarded. Five of six ship paths are fork-tier and already authorized for Tier-2 `release cut` via the trusted-caller branch; only `metta-fix-gap`'s mint scope needs `release:cut` appended — a delta shared by every approach. +- **Drift risk is mostly sunk cost.** The spec already mandates the 6-skill × 2-tree instruction surface and grep-assert tests for any approach; `tests/skill-uat-ship-gate.test.ts` (canonical byte-identical sentence + ordering asserts) is the direct template. + +### Adopted riders (binding for design) + +1. `--github` is removed from `release cut` (not silently left intact); the CLI errors with a pointer to the fixed sequence so the broken ordering is unreachable without notice. +2. `--verify-tag` appears in the canonical, grep-asserted skill sentence. +3. `cut --json` gains the extracted release-notes string (reuses the private `extractChangelogSection`; ~5 lines). +4. `/metta-release` (on-demand) gets the same fix in this change: drop `--github`; when `release.github_release: true`, ask for explicit push confirmation, run `git push --follow-tags origin main`, then the same gh block. Its "never pushes" rule relaxes to "pushes only with explicit per-run user confirmation" (this is what the constitution actually requires). +5. The change spec needs two additional MODIFIED deltas for base requirements that currently describe gh as an in-cut step: "Opt-In GitHub Release Publication" and "Graceful Degradation When gh Unavailable". +6.

"Both trees" = `src/templates/...` source of truth **and** the committed `.claude/...` deployed copy; `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts` auto-discovers every file in the `skills` and `hooks` families and fails on any byte difference, so each edit is made identically in both places. + +### 1. `src/schemas/project-config.ts` — config schema + +`ReleaseConfigSchema` (currently lines 104–113) gains two keys, following the existing `scheme` errorMap pattern so validation failures name the offending key: + +```ts +on_ship: z.enum(['auto', 'prompt', 'off'], { + errorMap: () => ({ message: "release.on_ship: must be one of 'auto', 'prompt', 'off'" }), +}).default('auto'), +allow_major_pre_1: z.boolean().default(false), +``` + +`export type ReleaseConfig = z.infer` picks both up automatically; no new type exports needed beyond the inferred widening. Existing configs without either key parse to the defaults (legs 1 and 2 of the three-legged pattern) — no migration. + +### 2. `src/cli/commands/install.ts` — scaffolding (leg 3) + +The scaffolded config is the `configContent` template string at lines 279–290 (pre-existing string-literal scaffold; this change follows that established pattern rather than introducing a template file for a 6-line YAML block — flagged as a known convention tension already present in the file). Mirror the `uat.enforce_on_ship` comment-plus-explicit-key style. Because `ReleaseConfigSchema` is `.strict()` and requires `scheme` + `version_file`, a bare `release.on_ship` key would make the scaffolded config *invalid* — so the release block is scaffolded **only when a version file is detectable**: when `existsSync(join(root, 'package.json'))`, append: + +```yaml +release: + scheme: semver + version_file: package.json + github_release: false + # Ship-path skills cut a release automatically after each merged ship; + # set prompt to be asked each time, or off for on-demand /metta-release only. + on_ship: auto +``` + +Projects without `package.json` get no `release` block and keep the absent-config skip behavior (spec: "Making release config mandatory" is out of scope). The `wx` write flag already protects existing configs. + +### 3. `src/release/release-pipeline.ts` — local-only cut + +- **`MUTATION_STEPS`** (lines 106–114): remove `'gh'`. Dry-run now emits six skipped mutation steps. +- **Delete the gh step** (lines 509–528) and the `gh` local plus `import { createGithubRelease, type GhExec, type GhOutcome } from './gh-release.js'` (line 17). +- **`ReleaseCutOptions`**: remove `github: boolean` and `ghExec?: GhExec`. +- **`ReleaseCutResult`**: remove `gh?: GhOutcome`; add `notes?: string` — "extracted changelog section for the cut version; present on non-dry-run success". After the `annotated-tag` step passes, compute `const notes = await this.extractChangelogSection(changelogPath, target)` (the existing private helper, lines 540–552, reused unchanged — rider 3, ~3 lines) and return `{ status: 'success', steps, version: target, tag, notes }`. Dry-run success omits `notes` (the changelog was not regenerated). +- **`ReleaseStatusResult`** (ADR-2): add `onShip: 'auto' | 'prompt' | 'off'`, `allowMajorPre1: boolean`, `githubRelease: boolean`, populated in `status()` from the Zod-parsed `release` config (`release.on_ship`, `release.allow_major_pre_1`, `release.github_release`). Additive — no existing field changes. +- `cut()`'s abort-point ordering, mutation-group restore logic, and bump derivation are untouched (spec: derivation rules unchanged; single cut path preserved). + +### 4. `src/release/gh-release.ts` — deleted (ADR-4) + +Remove the file and any barrel re-exports of `GhOutcome`/`GhExec`/`createGithubRelease` from `src/index.ts` (verify with a repo-wide import grep at execute time). `tests/release-gh-release.test.ts` is deleted with it (1:1 test-to-source ratio maintained by removal on both sides). + +### 5. `src/cli/commands/release.ts` — CLI surface + +- **`--github` erroring stub (rider 1).** Keep the option registered so Commander does not emit a generic `unknown option` — replace the current declaration (line 81) with `.option('--github', '(removed) GitHub publication now happens after the tag push — see error for the sequence')`. In the action, *before* `createCliContext()` / config load / any pipeline construction, when `opts.github === true`: + + ``` + throw new ReleaseError( + "--github has been removed from 'release cut': the cut is local-only. " + + 'Publish after the tag is on the remote: (1) metta release cut --bump --yes, ' + + '(2) git push --follow-tags origin main, ' + + '(3) gh release create --verify-tag --notes-file - (requires release.github_release: true).' + ) + ``` + + This performs no release mutation and replaces the old `release.github_release is disabled` fail-fast (lines 107–111), which is deleted. +- **`pipeline.cut()` call** (lines 123–128): drop the `github` field. +- **`renderCutResult`** (lines 18–40): delete the `result.gh` warn block (lines 26–29); update the hint (line 30) to: + `'The tag was NOT pushed. Push it with: git push --follow-tags origin main — then publish the GitHub release (if configured) with: gh release create --verify-tag'`. +- **Command description** (line 78): `'Cut a release locally: bump version, update record and changelog, commit, and tag (never pushes; GitHub publication happens after the tag push)'`. +- `--json` output needs no bespoke handling — `outputJson(result)` serializes the new `notes` field and the new status echo fields automatically. + +### 6. Ship-path skills — canonical release-stage block (6 skills × 2 trees = 12 files) + +Files: `{src/templates/skills,.claude/skills}/{metta-ship,metta-propose,metta-quick,metta-auto,metta-fix-issues,metta-fix-gap}/SKILL.md`. One shared markdown block, inserted **verbatim and byte-identically** in all twelve, headed `### Post-merge release stage`. Insertion points (after pull --ff-only + dist rebuild, before the final report/hand-back step): + +| Skill | Position | +|---|---| +| `metta-ship` | new step 10, after step 9 (dist rebuild); report becomes step 11 | +| `metta-propose` (ship opt-in only) | after the `--ship` sub-steps `g` (pull/cleanup) and its rebuild sub-step, before the report sub-step; the PR-open hand-back path is untouched — no release wording on it | +| `metta-quick` | after steps 15/16 (pull + rebuild) | +| `metta-auto` | after steps 14/15 (pull + rebuild) | +| `metta-fix-issues` | after sub-steps `e`/`f` (pull + rebuild) | +| `metta-fix-gap` | after sub-steps `e`/`f` (pull + rebuild) | + +The block opens with the **canonical grep-asserted sentence** (frozen byte-exact in the new test; authored once in `metta-ship` and copied, never retyped): + +> Post-merge release stage (runs only after the user-approved PR merge, git pull --ff-only, and dist rebuild — never at a PR-open hand-back): resolve the effective release.on_ship mode via metta release status --json, and on auto (or a confirmed prompt) derive the bump, run metta release cut --bump --yes --json, push the release commit and tag with git push --follow-tags origin main, then — only when githubRelease is true — probe gh release view and publish with gh release create --verify-tag --notes-file -, treating every failure in this stage as warn-and-continue: report what failed, state that /metta-release cuts it on demand, and never unwind or block the completed ship. + +Followed by the mode/rail bullets (also part of the byte-identical block): + +- **Absent config:** if `metta release status --json` fails with `Release configuration is missing`, emit exactly one loud line — `notice: release config absent — skipping the post-merge release cut (configure release: in .metta/config.yaml to enable)` — and continue to hand-back. Not an error, never a ship blocker. Any *other* status failure is warn-and-continue. +- **`off`:** stop the stage immediately; no derivation, no cut, no gh — behavior identical to pre-change ships. +- **`prompt`:** report ` unreleased change(s), recommended bump: ` and ask via AskUserQuestion **when the context can ask**; in any context that cannot collect an answer (forked skill execution, non-interactive run), fail closed — skip the cut and emit a loud notice that prompt mode could not ask. Decline = no cut, backlog stays for `/metta-release`. Confirm = proceed identically to `auto`. +- **Pre-1.0 major guard:** when `version` < 1.0.0, `recommendedBump` is `major`, and `allowMajorPre1` is `false` → cut `minor` instead and prominently report both the original major derivation and the downgrade ("pre-1.0: derived major downgraded to minor; set release.allow_major_pre_1: true to allow"). `allowMajorPre1: true` or version ≥ 1.0.0 → apply as derived. All three inputs come from the status `--json` echo (ADR-2). +- **Cut:** `metta release cut --bump --yes --json`; on success parse `version`, `tag`, `notes`; the ship report MUST state the released version. +- **Push:** `git push --follow-tags origin main` — the single authorized main push carrying the release commit and tag; never `--force`, never a second unconfirmed push. +- **gh publish (only when `githubRelease` is true):** probe `gh release view `; if it exists, skip creation (idempotent). Otherwise `gh release create --verify-tag --title --notes-file -` with the `notes` string from cut `--json` fed on stdin via a quoted heredoc. Any gh failure (missing binary, unauthenticated, create error): warn naming the cause and the exact manual command `gh release create --verify-tag`, then continue. `githubRelease: false` → no `gh release` command at all. + +No frontmatter changes are needed: all six already carry `Bash`; the gh/git commands are unguarded; prompt-capable contexts already resolve AskUserQuestion availability at runtime. + +### 7. `{src/templates/skills,.claude/skills}/metta-release/SKILL.md` — on-demand skill (rider 4) + +- Step 3: `metta release cut --bump --yes --json` — the `--github` clause is dropped entirely. +- Step 2's GitHub question moves *after* the cut: when `github_release: true` (now read from the status `--json` echo), ask whether to publish. +- New step 4: ask **explicit per-run confirmation** to push; on yes run `git push --follow-tags origin main`; on no, report the manual command and stop (local release intact). +- New step 5 (only after a confirmed, successful push, and only when the user opted in): the same gh block — probe `gh release view `, then `gh release create --verify-tag --title --notes-file -` with `notes` from cut `--json`; warn-and-continue on failure with the manual command. +- Rules updated: "Never run `git push` from this skill" → "Push only with explicit per-run user confirmation, only `git push --follow-tags origin main`, never `--force`"; "omit `--github`" rule replaced by "never pass `--github` — the flag is removed and errors". + +### 8. Guard/mint hooks — `{.claude/hooks,src/templates/hooks}/{metta-guard-bash.mjs,metta-session-mint.mjs}` + +**Single delta:** in `metta-session-mint.mjs`, `SKILL_SCOPES['metta-fix-gap']` (line 38) becomes `['fix-gap', 'complete', 'finalize', 'release:cut']` — in both trees. Rationale, confirmed against the guard source: + +- `metta-ship`, `metta-propose`, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues` execute as forked `metta-skill-host` subagents; `metta-guard-bash.mjs` line 881 authorizes **any** Tier-2 subcommand for a trusted fork caller (`isTrustedSkillCaller`), so `release cut` from those five is already permitted with zero changes. +- `metta-fix-gap` is Tier-2 (session-credential) — hence the mint-scope append. +- **No new guard words:** `release status` is already on `ALLOWED_TWO_WORD` (guard line 67), `release cut` already in `BLOCKED_TWO_WORD` with scope key `release:cut` (line 94), bare `release` already in `ALLOWED_BARE` (line 107). A direct orchestrator `release cut` with no credential remains blocked exactly as today. The guard-side comment at lines 92–94 ("minted only by the metta-release skill") is updated to name both minting skills. +- **`src/delivery/workflow-primer.ts`:** no change — its SYNC'd lists (lines 35–36, 91) mirror the guard allow/block lists, which are untouched; the `tests/delivery.test.ts` seam test stays green by construction. + +### 9. Tests + +- **New: `tests/skill-release-ship-stage.test.ts`** — modeled directly on `tests/skill-uat-ship-gate.test.ts` (same `SKILL_TREES` × `SHIP_SKILLS` 12-case matrix, same frozen-constant discipline): + - canonical release sentence appears **exactly once** per file (`split(...).length - 1 === 1`); + - ordering: sentence index > `indexOf('gh pr merge --merge')` and > `indexOf('git pull --ff-only')` (post-merge, post-pull positioning; fails when the stage is removed, naming the offending file); + - block content: each file contains `--verify-tag`, `git push --follow-tags origin main`, and `gh release view `; + - `metta-propose` only: the canonical sentence sits inside the `--ship` opt-in section (index > the ship-opt-in heading anchor), guarding the no-release-at-PR-open rule; + - `metta-release` (both trees): contains `--verify-tag` and `git push --follow-tags origin main`, contains **no** `--github` occurrence, and the push-confirmation wording precedes `gh release create`; + - aggregate all-files check mirroring the UAT test's final describe. + - Template↔deployed **byte-identity needs no new assertions**: `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts` auto-discovers every file in the `skills` and `hooks` families (including the mint-hook scope edit) and fails on any drift or orphan. +- **`tests/schemas.test.ts`** (`ReleaseConfigSchema` describe, ~line 1253): omitted `on_ship` → `'auto'`; each of `auto|prompt|off` accepted; `on_ship: 'always'` rejected with a message naming `release.on_ship` and the allowed values; omitted `allow_major_pre_1` → `false`; explicit `true` accepted; existing minimal `{scheme, version_file}` fixtures still parse (regression on the no-migration guarantee). +- **`tests/release-pipeline.test.ts`:** remove the entire `cut — gh isolation` describe (~lines 420–485) and the `github`/`ghExec` fields from the `cutOptions` helper (line 66) and `GhExec` import (line 15); drop `'gh'` from the step-order assertion (line 338) and the `result.gh` assertions (lines 119, 124); **add**: successful cut result carries `notes` equal to the extracted `## — ` changelog section; dry-run result carries no `notes`; `status()` echoes `onShip`/`allowMajorPre1`/`githubRelease` for explicit, omitted-key, and default-config fixtures. +- **`tests/release-gh-release.test.ts`:** deleted with its source (ADR-4). +- **`tests/cli-release.test.ts`:** replace the `--github fails fast` test (~line 196) with: `release cut --github` exits non-zero, stderr names the removed `--github` flag and contains `git push --follow-tags origin main` and `--verify-tag`, and no version file/changelog/commit/tag mutation occurred; update the success-path hint assertion to the new "tag NOT pushed" wording; assert cut `--json` output includes the `notes` string (the "cut --json supplies the notes body" scenario). +- **`tests/cli-install.test.ts`:** with a `package.json` present, scaffolded `.metta/config.yaml` contains explicit `release.on_ship: auto` (and `scheme`/`version_file`) and parses under `ProjectConfigSchema`; without `package.json`, no `release` key is written. +- **Hook seam tests** (`tests/hooks-byte-identity.test.ts` + guard/mint unit tests): existing suites cover the mint-scope change via byte-identity; add one mint-hook assertion that `SKILL_SCOPES['metta-fix-gap']` includes `'release:cut'` if the existing scope-table test enumerates scopes. + +## Data Model + +**No persisted-state schema changes beyond the config schema.** Explicitly: + +- **No `releases-record` schema change.** `src/schemas/releases-record.ts` (`ReleaseEntry`, `ReleasesRecord`, `BumpLevelEnum`) is untouched; `spec/releases.yaml` entries keep the exact shape written today. One recorded behavioral note: because the canonical block always passes `--bump `, ship-triggered entries record `bump_source: 'override'` even when the level equals the derivation — accepted, since the skill's derivation input *is* the pipeline's own `recommendedBump` echoed through status. +- **`ReleaseConfigSchema`** gains `on_ship` (enum, `.default('auto')`) and `allow_major_pre_1` (boolean, `.default(false)`), both validated on every read/write via the existing `ProjectConfigSchema` path in the config loader. `.strict()` is preserved. +- **In-memory API types only** (not persisted): `ReleaseCutResult` −`gh` +`notes?: string`; `ReleaseCutOptions` −`github` −`ghExec`; `ReleaseStatusResult` +`onShip` +`allowMajorPre1` +`githubRelease`. +- No new state files, no `.metta/` additions, no token/UAT/gate state touched. + +## API Design + +**CLI surface (`metta release`):** + +| Command | Change | +|---|---| +| `metta release status [--json]` | Additive: JSON gains `onShip`, `allowMajorPre1`, `githubRelease` (schema-resolved echo). Human output unchanged (optionally one `On-ship mode:` line). Read-only, guard-allow-listed — unchanged classification. | +| `metta release cut --bump --yes [--dry-run] [--json]` | `--github` removed; passing it errors (no mutation) naming the flag and the cut → push → publish sequence. Success JSON gains `notes` (extracted changelog section). `gh` result field and `gh` step disappear from output; dry-run lists six skipped mutation steps. Description/hints updated to the fixed sequence. | + +**TypeScript contracts:** `ReleasePipeline.cut(opts: ReleaseCutOptions): Promise` with the option/result deltas above; `createGithubRelease`, `GhExec`, `GhOutcome` are removed from the public surface. `ReleaseConfig` widens with the two new keys. + +**Skill instruction contract (the real API of this change):** the canonical release-stage block in Components §6 — fixed sequence `status --json` → mode gate → bump derivation + pre-1.0 guard → `cut --bump --yes --json` → `git push --follow-tags origin main` → (opt-in) `gh release view ` probe → `gh release create --verify-tag --title --notes-file -` — byte-identical across the six ship-path skills and mirrored (with per-run push confirmation) in `metta-release`. Failure posture at every step: warn-and-continue, naming `/metta-release` as the on-demand remedy; the ship outcome is never blocked or unwound. + +**Guard/mint contract:** unchanged classification tables; one widened mint scope (`metta-fix-gap` += `release:cut`). Fork-tier authorization for the other five ship paths is existing behavior, not new surface. + +## Dependencies + +**External (runtime, unchanged set):** +- `git` — cut commit/tag (existing), plus the skill-side `git push --follow-tags origin main` (rides the established skill-side push pattern). +- `gh` CLI — *optional*, skill-side only, gated on `release.github_release: true`; graceful degradation (warn + manual command) when missing/unauthenticated/failing. After this change the TypeScript codebase has **zero** gh invocations. +- No new npm dependencies; `zod`, `commander`, `vitest`, `yaml` usage is all within existing patterns. + +**Internal:** +- `src/release/release-pipeline.ts` depends (unchanged) on `semver.ts`, `bump-derivation.ts`, `version-file.ts`, `releases-record-store.ts`, `git-release-tags.ts`, `DocGenerator`; the `gh-release.js` import is removed. +- `src/cli/commands/release.ts` → pipeline types (updated). +- Skill blocks depend on the `release status --json` / `release cut --json` field contracts (ADR-2 / rider 3) — the only cross-boundary coupling this change adds, pinned by `tests/cli-release.test.ts` JSON assertions. +- Hook templates ↔ deployed copies via `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts`; guard ↔ primer lists via the `tests/delivery.test.ts` seam (no delta). +- Spec deltas already recorded in this change's `spec.md` (release-versioning MODIFIED/ADDED requirements; finalize-ship ship-step wording rides the skill edits). + +## Risks & Mitigations + +1. **Instruction drift across 12+ skill files** (the sequence silently diverges or gets dropped in one copy). *Mitigation:* one canonical byte-identical block; frozen-constant grep-asserts with per-file ordering checks in `tests/skill-release-ship-stage.test.ts` (fails naming the offender); auto-discovering byte-identity in `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts` covers the template↔deployed axis for skills *and* hooks with no hand-maintained file list. +2. **gh silently creating a wrong tag from default-branch HEAD** when the tag is not on the remote (the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 corruption mode — `gh release create` does not fail on a missing tag). *Mitigation:* structurally closed — the in-cut gh step no longer exists; `--verify-tag` is part of the frozen canonical sentence and grep-asserted in all files, so gh aborts on any residual mis-ordering; the `gh release view` probe makes re-runs idempotent. +3. **Prompt mode in a non-interactive/forked context** cutting without an answer. *Mitigation:* fail-closed by instruction — no answer means no cut, loud notice, ship completes; spec scenario "Non-interactive context fails closed" plus the US-2 acceptance criterion pin the behavior. +4. **A failing cut blocking or unwinding a completed ship.** *Mitigation:* warn-and-continue is written into the canonical sentence itself (grep-asserted); the cut runs strictly after merge/pull/rebuild so there is nothing for it to unwind; guard authorization is widened *up front* (fork-tier already valid; `metta-fix-gap` mint scope appended) so the failure posture is exercised only for genuine cut errors, never authorization gaps. +5. **`--github` removal breaking muscle memory / older instructions.** *Mitigation:* erroring stub keeps the flag *parsed* but never *acted on* — the error names the removed flag and prints the exact three-step fixed sequence before any config load or mutation; `tests/cli-release.test.ts` asserts zero mutation on that path. +6. **Install scaffolding writing an invalid config** (`.strict()` release block missing `scheme`/`version_file`). *Mitigation:* the release block is scaffolded only when `package.json` exists, always as a complete valid block; `tests/cli-install.test.ts` parses the scaffolded config through `ProjectConfigSchema` in both branches. +7. **Status/cut JSON contract drift between CLI and skill prose.** *Mitigation:* additive-only JSON changes; field names asserted in `tests/cli-release.test.ts`; the notes string is produced by the same `extractChangelogSection` the old gh step used, so notes content semantics are unchanged. +8. **Pre-1.0 guard mis-evaluation in skill prose** (wrong default when keys are omitted). *Mitigation:* ADR-2 — the skill never parses YAML; it reads Zod-resolved `onShip`/`allowMajorPre1` from status `--json`, keeping default resolution in exactly one place; derivation rules themselves are untouched (out of scope by intent). +9. **GitHub vendor lock-in** (ADR-5). *Mitigation:* confined to the opt-in publish leg behind `github_release: false`-by-default; local cut/tag/push are provider-neutral git; no gh code remains in TypeScript, so a future non-GitHub publish leg is a skill-block edit, not a pipeline change.

Delete `tests/release-gh-release.test.ts`. In `tests/cli-release.test.ts` replace the `--github fails fast` test (~line 196): `release cut --github` exits non-zero, stderr names the removed `--github` flag and contains `git push --follow-tags origin main` and `--verify-tag`, and no version-file/changelog/commit/tag mutation occurred; update the success-path hint assertion to the "tag NOT pushed" wording; assert cut `--json` output includes the `notes` string and status `--json` includes the three echo fields. + - **Verify**: `npx vitest run tests/release-pipeline.test.ts tests/cli-release.test.ts && npx tsc --noEmit` + - **Done**: `cut()` is purely local (no gh code path exists in TypeScript — grep-clean); `--github` errors pre-mutation with the fixed-sequence message; JSON contracts carry `notes` + the three status echo fields; deleted source and test removed together (1:1 ratio); build type-checks. + - **Commit**: `feat(automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make): make release cut local-only with notes emission and status echo` + +- [ ] **Task 2.2: Install scaffolds a complete release block when package.json exists** + - **Depends on**: Task 1.1 (scaffolded config must parse under the widened schema) + - **Files**: `src/cli/commands/install.ts`, `tests/cli-install.test.ts` + - **Action**: Per design §2, extend the `configContent` scaffold (lines 279–290, existing string-literal scaffold pattern) so that when `existsSync(join(root, 'package.json'))` the release block from design §2 is appended — the complete valid block (`scheme: semver`, `version_file: package.json`, `github_release: false`, the two-line on-ship comment, `on_ship: auto`), mirroring the `uat.enforce_on_ship` comment-plus-explicit-key style. When no `package.json` exists, write no `release` key at all (absent-config skip behavior preserved). The `wx` write flag continues to protect existing configs.

The same spec's "Post-Merge Release Flow" requirement (spec.md:47) mandates status as step (1) before the mode is knowable, so the spec contradicts itself. Behavior is harmless (read-only, allow-listed), but the scenario as written is unsatisfiable and will merge into the living spec. Fix: reword the scenario to "no release mutation — no derivation, no cut, no tag" or explicitly permit the single mode-resolving status probe. + +2. **Canonical sentence and design cite a "dist rebuild" step that five of six ship skills do not contain.** + The frozen sentence says the stage "runs only after the user-approved PR merge, git pull --ff-only, and dist rebuild" — but only `metta-ship` (step 9, `src/templates/skills/metta-ship/SKILL.md:59`) instructs a dist rebuild. `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, `metta-fix-gap`, and `metta-propose` contain no rebuild instruction at all (grep for `npm run build`/`rebuild` returns nothing in those five), and design.md §6's insertion table ("after steps 15/16 (pull + rebuild)" etc.) describes rebuild sub-steps that do not exist in those files — the block was correctly inserted after the pull instead. Spec.md:242 requires positioning "after the merge and the main fast-forward + rebuild"; for five skills the rebuild leg is vacuous. Not a behavior bug (a skill can't run a step it doesn't have), but the sentence asserts an ordering precondition those five files never establish. Consider either dropping "and dist rebuild" from a future revision of the canonical sentence or adding the rebuild step to the other ship paths (a known issue about stale main dist already exists). + +3. **`metta-fix-issues`/`metta-fix-gap`: release stage ordered before issue/gap removal (step 11).** + `src/templates/skills/metta-fix-issues/SKILL.md:124-136` and the fix-gap twin place the release cut + `git push --follow-tags origin main` *before* step 11 (`metta fix-issue --remove-issue` / `metta gaps remove`). The removal's spec mutations and any commit of them now land on main *after* the release push, so they are left unpushed at hand-back (pre-change ships also left them unpushed, so no regression) and will be attributed to the *next* release rather than the one just cut for the change that resolved them. Ordering removal before the stage would let the single authorized push carry it — worth a deliberate decision; as shipped it is consistent but slightly lossy. + +4. **Ordering assertions use first-occurrence `indexOf`.** + `tests/skill-release-ship-stage.test.ts:51,60` anchor on the first `gh pr merge --merge` / `git pull --ff-only` occurrence. Today each ship skill's first occurrence *is* the ship-path one, so the assertions are currently sound, but a future skill edit that mentions either string earlier (e.g. in a rules/notes section) would silently weaken the ordering check. Using `lastIndexOf` for the anchors (or asserting the stage precedes the final report step) would be more robust. Nice-to-have. + +5. **`metta-release` step 1 still tells the skill to parse "target version" from `release status --json`** (`src/templates/skills/metta-release/SKILL.md`, step 1) — `ReleaseStatusResult` has no target-version field (only `version` + `recommendedBump`; the target is computed at cut time). Pre-existing wording retained by the rewrite; harmless but inaccurate. + +6. **Spec scenario "Main-session ship path is authorized to cut" names `metta-ship` as the example** (spec.md:224-227), but `metta-ship` runs `context: fork` (Tier-1, `src/templates/skills/metta-ship/SKILL.md:5`); the actual main-session ship path is `metta-fix-gap`, which is what the mint-scope delta covers (`metta-session-mint.mjs:38`, verified against guard line 881 fork-tier authorization). The authorization matrix is correct end to end; only the scenario's parenthetical example is wrong. + +## Verified in detail + +- **Schema** (`src/schemas/project-config.ts:113-117`): enum + errorMap names `release.on_ship` and the three allowed values; `.default('auto')` / `.default(false)`; `.strict()` preserved; minimal `{scheme, version_file}` fixture regression-tested (no migration). +- **Pipeline** (`src/release/release-pipeline.ts`): `MUTATION_STEPS` is exactly the six local steps; gh step, `gh-release.ts`, its barrel export, and its test are all deleted with zero residual references (repo-wide grep clean); notes computed via the unchanged `extractChangelogSection` only after `annotated-tag` passes (line 521); dry-run returns at line 371 without notes; abort points, mutation-group `restoreFiles`, and commit-failure unstage logic are byte-untouched; `status()` echo fields come from the Zod-parsed config (lines 231-233) and `requireReleaseConfig()` still throws before any version read when config is absent. +- **CLI** (`src/cli/commands/release.ts:89-96`): `--github` stub throws `ReleaseError` before `createCliContext()`/config load — pre-mutation by construction; the old `github_release is disabled` fail-fast is gone; cut call drops `github`; hint and description updated; `--json` serializes `notes` and the echo fields automatically. Test asserts non-zero exit, message naming, and zero mutation (version file, releases.yaml, changelog, HEAD, tags, porcelain). +- **Install** (`src/cli/commands/install.ts:279-303`): complete valid release block (never a bare `on_ship`) only when `package.json` exists; both branches parse under `ProjectConfigSchema` in tests; `wx` flag untouched. +- **Skills**: canonical block byte-identical across all 12 files and both hook trees (direct `diff -q` clean); propose block sits inside the `--ship` opt-in section (after sub-step g, before step 9), PR-open path untouched; pre-1.0 guard bullet reads all three inputs from the status echo and downgrades major→minor with the prominent report; prompt mode fails closed; absent-config one-line notice keys off the exact `Release configuration is missing` message the error class produces. +- **Guard/mint**: single functional delta (`metta-fix-gap` scope append) plus the comment update; guard classification tables and `workflow-primer.ts` untouched; fork-tier Tier-2 authorization at guard line 881 confirmed for the five forked ship skills. +- **Tests**: `tsc --noEmit` clean; `schemas`, `release-pipeline`, `cli-release`, `cli-install`, `skill-release-ship-stage`, `template-deploy-sync`, `metta-session-mint`, `hooks-byte-identity`, `skill-uat-ship-gate`, `skill-propose-ship-gate`, `cli-skills`, `delivery`, `metta-guard-bash`, `metta-guard-mint-seam` all pass (855 passed, 2 pre-existing skips). + +Verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS + +## Security + +Verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS + +# Security Review: automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make + +Scope reviewed: full `git diff main...HEAD` in this worktree — hooks (both trees), seven skill instruction files (both trees), release CLI/pipeline/schema, install scaffolding, deleted gh edge, tests. + +## Authorization (mint-scope widening + guard tables) + +- **SKILL_SCOPES widening is correctly scoped.** Only `metta-fix-gap` gained `release:cut` (`.claude/hooks/metta-session-mint.mjs:38`, mirrored at `src/templates/hooks/metta-session-mint.mjs:38`). No other skill's scope changed; `metta-release` keeps `['release:cut']` unchanged. Tokens are per-slug files and the slug is a static frontmatter argv (mint hook lines 98–100), so the scope cannot leak to another skill's credential. +- **Guard classification tables are byte-identical to main except a comment.** The `.claude/hooks/metta-guard-bash.mjs` diff touches only the comment at line 93; `BLOCKED_TWO_WORD`, `ALLOWED_TWO_WORD`, `ALLOWED_BARE`, `BLOCKED_SUBCOMMANDS`, and `SKILL_ENFORCED_SUBCOMMANDS` are unchanged. `release cut` remains Tier-2 blocked; `release status` remains read-only allowed. +- **Ship-path fork skills need no mint change** — the Tier-1 fork identity path (`metta-guard-bash.mjs:881–883`) already authorizes Tier-2 subcommands from a verified `agent_type`, which is why only the two main-session skills (metta-release, metta-fix-gap) appear in `SKILL_SCOPES`. Consistent, no widening beyond need. +- **Template parity verified**: all six ship-path SKILL.md files, metta-release SKILL.md, and both hooks are identical between `.claude/` and `src/templates/`. + +## --github stub cannot reach the old publish path + +- `src/cli/commands/release.ts:89–95`: `opts.github === true` throws `ReleaseError` before context load, config read, or `ReleasePipeline` construction — no mutation, no bypass. +- The pre-push publish code path no longer exists: `src/release/gh-release.ts` deleted, its export removed from `src/index.ts`, and `ReleasePipeline.cut()` no longer accepts a `github`/`ghExec` option (`src/release/release-pipeline.ts:79–96`). Nothing to bypass into. + +## Push safety + +- No `--force`, no `--no-verify`, no destructive git ops anywhere in the diff. The only push command instructed anywhere is `git push --follow-tags origin main`, and every skill file explicitly forbids `--force` and a second unconfirmed push. +- `metta-release` skill (step 4) gates its push on fresh per-run `AskUserQuestion` confirmation — good. +- The pipeline itself never pushes (`execFileAsync('git', args)` array-args only, `release-pipeline.ts:150`; tag creation at :505). + +## Command injection surfaces + +- CLI side is clean: all git invocations use `execFile` with argv arrays; no shell strings, no template-literal command construction. +- Skill side has two instruction-level surfaces, listed under Warnings below (heredoc terminator collision; unvalidated `tag_prefix` interpolated into shell commands). + +## Secrets + +- No secrets logged or committed. Session token values never appear in skill files; the mint hook writes tokens 0o600 under `.metta/scratch/`. `notes` in the cut JSON is changelog text only. `release status --json` echoes only config booleans/enums. + +## Install scaffold + +- `src/cli/commands/install.ts:303`: config written with `{ flag: 'wx' }` and errors swallowed — existing config is never overwritten. The new release block is static text (no interpolation), added only when `package.json` exists. + +## Critical issues + +(none) + +## Warnings + +- **Heredoc terminator collision in the instructed publish command** — `.claude/skills/metta-release/SKILL.md` step 5 and the `gh publish` bullet of the Post-merge release stage in all six ship-path SKILL.md files (plus `src/templates/` mirrors): notes are fed via `<<'NOTES'`. The quoted delimiter prevents expansion, but if the changelog-derived `notes` string contains a line that is exactly `NOTES`, the heredoc terminates early and the remaining note lines execute as shell commands in the orchestrator's Bash call. Changelog content derives from change names/summaries (semi-attacker-influenceable in a hostile-repo scenario). Recommend instructing skills to write `notes` to a file under `.metta/scratch/` and pass `--notes-file `, or to choose a delimiter guaranteed absent from the notes. +- **`tag_prefix` is unvalidated and the tag is interpolated into shell commands by skills** — `src/schemas/project-config.ts:111` (`tag_prefix: z.string()`, pre-existing) places no character-set constraint; the skills interpolate `` (= `tag_prefix` + version) into `gh release view ` and `gh release create --verify-tag --title `. A hostile `.metta/config.yaml` with metacharacters in `tag_prefix` becomes shell-injection text at publish time (the CLI side is immune via execFile argv). Threat model is limited — a repo writer could edit hooks directly — but a `regex` constraint on `tag_prefix` (e.g. `[A-Za-z0-9._-]*`) and a "quote the tag" instruction would close it cheaply. +- **`on_ship: auto` pushes to origin/main without a fresh per-push confirmation** — schema default (`src/schemas/project-config.ts:113`) and the scaffolded install default are both `auto`, so a merged ship auto-runs `git push --follow-tags origin main`. The skill text frames the user-approved PR merge as the authorizing decision and this is the change's recorded user decision, so it is accepted risk — noted here because the project convention says "No auto-push to remote without explicit user confirmation"; `prompt` mode remains available and fails closed when it cannot ask. +- **fix-gap credential window (informational)** — after `/metta-fix-gap` mints its token, the main session holds `release:cut` authorization for TTL+grace, usable outside the skill's post-merge stage. This is inherent to the Tier-2 model (identical exposure already exists for `finalize`/`complete`) and the widening is the minimum needed; no action required. + +Verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS + +## Quality + +Verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS + +# Quality Review: automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make + +Reviewer focus: dead code, naming, duplication, test gaps, comment/doc accuracy. +Scope: `git diff main...HEAD` in the change worktree plus planning artifacts. + +## Summary + +The gh-release deletion is clean — no stray imports, types, helpers, fixtures, or +barrel entries survive. The six ship-skill release-stage blocks are byte-identical +(verified by hashing the block in all six deployed skills) and both skill trees are +byte-identical pair-wise (verified with `diff -q` across all seven touched skills). +Naming and filename conventions hold throughout. Targeted test runs pass +(`skill-release-ship-stage` 57/57, `schemas` 199/199, `metta-session-mint` 43/43). +One warning on grep-suite coverage of the mode/rail bullets; the rest are suggestions. + +## Critical issues + +None. + +## Warnings + +1. **Mode/rail bullets are byte-identical today but unpinned by any test** — + `tests/skill-release-ship-stage.test.ts` (whole file). The suite freezes only the + opening canonical sentence plus three command substrings (`--verify-tag`, + `git push --follow-tags origin main`, `gh release view `). The six bullets + that carry the behaviors this change's spec cares most about — the absent-config + notice line (`notice: release config absent — skipping the post-merge release cut ...`), + the prompt-mode fail-closed wording, and the pre-1.0 downgrade wording + (`"pre-1.0: derived major downgraded to minor; set release.allow_major_pre_1: true to allow"`) + — are deterministic strings and therefore grep-coverable, but no assertion pins + them. `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts` only pins the template↔deployed axis, + not cross-skill bullet identity, so a bullet can drift or be dropped in one of the + six skills without any test failing. Design §9 scoped the test this way + intentionally, and no test *pretends* to cover the bullets (test names are honest), + so this is a should-fix, not a blocker: freeze the three behavior-bearing strings + as constants and assert once-per-file, mirroring the existing sentence assert. + +## Suggestions + +1. **Inline YAML template grows in TypeScript** — `src/cli/commands/install.ts:40-49` + (`releaseBlock`) extends the pre-existing inline `configContent` YAML literal. The + project convention says template content lives in template files, not TS string + literals. The pre-existing pattern makes this consistent rather than novel, but the + scaffold is now large enough that moving `config.yaml` scaffolding to + `src/templates/` would align it with how skills/hooks are handled. + +2. **Removed-flag tombstone appears in `--help`** — `src/cli/commands/release.ts:81`. + `--github` stays registered so it errors helpfully instead of hitting commander's + unknown-option message (good), but the "(removed) ... see error for the sequence" + description renders in help output. Commander's `new Option(...).hideHelp()` would + keep the helpful error while hiding the dead flag from `--help`. + +3. **Weakened exit-code assertion** — `tests/cli-release.test.ts` (`--github` test): + the old test asserted `code === 4`; the rewrite asserts `code !== 0`. The mutation + guards below it are thorough (version file, changelog, record, log, tags, porcelain + all checked), so this is minor, but pinning the exact `ReleaseError` exit code would + preserve the previous contract strength. + +4. **Human-readable `release status` prints `onShip` but not the other two echoes** — + `src/cli/commands/release.ts:66`. `allowMajorPre1` and `githubRelease` are + JSON-only. Skills consume `--json`, so nothing is broken; printing all three would + keep the human and JSON surfaces symmetric. + +## Checks performed (clean) + +- **Dead code from gh-release deletion**: `grep -rn "gh-release|GhOutcome|GhExec|createGithubRelease|ghExec"` + over `src/` and `tests/` returns zero hits. `src/index.ts:45` barrel entry removed. + `ReleaseCutOptions.github`/`ghExec` fields, the `'gh'` entry in `MUTATION_STEPS` + (`src/release/release-pipeline.ts:105-111`), and the CLI's `gh` warn-rendering are + all gone. Remaining mentions live only in `docs/changelog.md` (historical release + record — correct to leave untouched). +- **1:1 test-to-source ratio**: `tests/release-gh-release.test.ts` deleted alongside + `src/release/gh-release.ts`; new prose behavior gets a new dedicated test file + (`tests/skill-release-ship-stage.test.ts`, kebab-case, modeled on + `skill-uat-ship-gate.test.ts` as the design prescribes). +- **Naming/conventions**: `onShip`/`allowMajorPre1`/`githubRelease` camelCase in the + JSON echo; `on_ship`/`allow_major_pre_1` snake_case matching sibling YAML keys in + `ReleaseConfigSchema` (`src/schemas/project-config.ts:113-117`, `.strict()` kept); + `.js` import extensions present in all touched imports; no skill/agent markdown + inlined into TypeScript — the canonical block lives only in the twelve SKILL.md files. +- **Byte-identity**: the `### Post-merge release stage` block hashes identically + (md5 `2f4412cb…`) across all six deployed ship skills; `diff -q` between + `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` and `src/templates/skills/*/SKILL.md` is clean for all + seven touched skills; same for both hook files. +- **Skill-wording consistency**: the canonical block's manual-remedy command + (`gh release create --verify-tag`), the metta-release skill's step-5 fallback, + and the CLI cut success hint (`src/cli/commands/release.ts:26-29`) all agree; the + `--github` error text (`release.ts:90-95`) names the same cut → push → publish + sequence the skills implement; no contradictory instructions found.

The quoted delimiter prevents expansion, but if the changelog-derived `notes` string contains a line that is exactly `NOTES`, the heredoc terminates early and the remaining note lines execute as shell commands in the orchestrator's Bash call. Changelog content derives from change names/summaries (semi-attacker-influenceable in a hostile-repo scenario). Recommend instructing skills to write `notes` to a file under `.metta/scratch/` and pass `--notes-file `, or to choose a delimiter guaranteed absent from the notes. +- **`tag_prefix` is unvalidated and the tag is interpolated into shell commands by skills** — `src/schemas/project-config.ts:111` (`tag_prefix: z.string()`, pre-existing) places no character-set constraint; the skills interpolate `` (= `tag_prefix` + version) into `gh release view ` and `gh release create --verify-tag --title `. A hostile `.metta/config.yaml` with metacharacters in `tag_prefix` becomes shell-injection text at publish time (the CLI side is immune via execFile argv). Threat model is limited — a repo writer could edit hooks directly — but a `regex` constraint on `tag_prefix` (e.g. `[A-Za-z0-9._-]*`) and a "quote the tag" instruction would close it cheaply. +- **`on_ship: auto` pushes to origin/main without a fresh per-push confirmation** — schema default (`src/schemas/project-config.ts:113`) and the scaffolded install default are both `auto`, so a merged ship auto-runs `git push --follow-tags origin main`. The skill text frames the user-approved PR merge as the authorizing decision and this is the change's recorded user decision, so it is accepted risk — noted here because the project convention says "No auto-push to remote without explicit user confirmation"; `prompt` mode remains available and fails closed when it cannot ask. +- **fix-gap credential window (informational)** — after `/metta-fix-gap` mints its token, the main session holds `release:cut` authorization for TTL+grace, usable outside the skill's post-merge stage.

No pipeline-side guard exists; the base derivation rules are unchanged, matching the spec's "layer on top" wording. +2. **Fork-context `release cut` has no dedicated guard test** — the fork branch is exercised by the generic Tier-2-under-fork test (`tests/metta-guard-bash.test.ts:1070`, using `metta finalize`); `release cut` rides the identical code path (`metta-guard-bash.mjs:880-883` authorizes any Tier-2 sub under a trusted `agent_type` before scope filtering). Structural coverage is sound; a `release cut`-specific fork test would be a nice-to-have. +3. **Unauthenticated-gh wording** — the on-demand skill names the authentication cause and the manual retry command; it does not spell out "how to authenticate" (e.g. `gh auth login`). Matches the requirement's intent (cause + retry path named); flagging only for completeness. +4. **Grep-asserts run against `src/templates/skills` + `.claude/skills`**, not `dist/`; `tests/template-deploy-sync.test.ts` (passing) covers template→deploy propagation. + +## Verdict + +Gate: PASS — every scenario has cited evidence; all cited test files were executed in the worktree and pass (895 tests across the three scoped runs, 2 pre-existing unrelated skips). diff --git a/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/verify/tests.md b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/verify/tests.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ad77e250 --- /dev/null +++ b/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/verify/tests.md @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +Gate: PASS + +## Test suite results + +- Command: `npm test` (run in worktree root) +- Test files: 135 passed (135) +- Tests: 2873 passed | 2 skipped (2875 total) +- Failures: 0 +- Duration: 539.44s + +No failing tests.

+*Independent test:* Running a ship-path skill to completion with `release.on_ship: auto` (or unset, since auto is the default) produces a new version tag on main derived from the unreleased changes, with no manual release invocation. + +#### Step 1.1 +- **Setup**: a project with release config present and `release.on_ship` set to `auto` (or absent, defaulting to `auto`) +- **Do**: any ship-path skill (metta-ship, metta-propose ship opt-in, metta-quick, metta-auto, metta-fix-issues, metta-fix-gap) completes the PR merge and main fast-forward + rebuild +- **Observe**: the skill runs release status, derives the bump, and cuts the release via the existing ReleasePipeline with `--yes`, and the new tag rides the already-authorized main push via `--follow-tags` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 1.2 +- **Setup**: the cut succeeds +- **Do**: the ship step reports completion +- **Observe**: the output includes the new version number so the developer knows exactly what was released +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 1.3 +- **Setup**: the automatic cut runs +- **Do**: it derives the bump +- **Observe**: it reuses the existing ReleasePipeline and bump-derivation rules end to end, with no second cut implementation +- [ ] Pass + +### US-2: Prompt mode asks before cutting + +*Independent test:* With `release.on_ship: prompt`, an interactive ship presents the unreleased count and recommended bump and only cuts on confirmation, while a non-interactive ship skips the cut with a loud notice. + +#### Step 2.1 +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: prompt` in an interactive session +- **Do**: a ship-path skill reaches the post-merge release step +- **Observe**: it reports the number of unreleased changes and the recommended bump and asks the developer whether to cut +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 2.2 +- **Setup**: the developer confirms +- **Do**: the cut proceeds +- **Observe**: it follows the same pipeline and tag-push behavior as auto mode +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 2.3 +- **Setup**: the developer declines +- **Do**: the ship completes +- **Observe**: no cut occurs and the shipped change remains in the unreleased backlog for a later on-demand release +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 2.4 +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: prompt` in a non-interactive context +- **Do**: the ship reaches the release step +- **Observe**: it fails closed by skipping the cut and emits a loud notice that the release was skipped and why +- [ ] Pass + +### US-3: Off mode and absent config preserve on-demand releasing + +*Independent test:* With `release.on_ship: off` or with release config entirely absent, a completed ship produces no tag and no cut, emitting only a one-line skip notice in the absent-config case. + +#### Step 3.1 +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: off` +- **Do**: a ship-path skill completes the merge and main push +- **Observe**: no release step runs and releasing remains fully on-demand via /metta-release +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 3.2 +- **Setup**: a project with no release config at all +- **Do**: a ship completes +- **Observe**: the release step is skipped with a one-line notice and the ship succeeds normally +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 3.3 +- **Setup**: either skip path +- **Do**: the ship completes +- **Observe**: tokens, UAT enforcement, and gates behave exactly as before — the release step touches none of them +- [ ] Pass + +### US-4: Reliable GitHub release sequencing + +*Independent test:* A ship-triggered cut executes strictly in the order merge → pull → local cut (no `--github`) → push main with `--follow-tags` → `gh release create` against the pushed tag, and the GitHub release step never runs before the tag exists on the remote. + +#### Step 4.1 +- **Setup**: an automatic cut on ship +- **Do**: the release step executes (Run: `gh release create`) +- **Observe**: the local cut runs without `--github`, the tag is pushed via `--follow-tags` on the authorized main push, and only then is the GitHub release created against the already-pushed tag +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 4.2 +- **Setup**: the `gh` CLI is absent or unauthenticated +- **Do**: the GitHub-release step is reached +- **Observe**: the step degrades gracefully — the tag and version cut still land, and the skill reports that the GitHub release was skipped +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 4.3 +- **Setup**: the fixed sequencing +- **Do**: compared against the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 failure mode +- **Observe**: the tag-not-on-remote race is structurally impossible because the GitHub release is created after the push, not during the cut +- [ ] Pass + +### US-5: Pre-1.0 major bump guard + +*Independent test:* On a pre-1.0 version, an automatic cut whose derived bump is major produces a minor version instead and prominently reports the downgrade, while setting `release.allow_major_pre_1` restores the major bump. + +#### Step 5.1 +- **Setup**: the current version is below 1.0.0 and `release.allow_major_pre_1` is not set +- **Do**: the automatic cut derives a major bump +- **Observe**: the bump is downgraded to minor and the ship output prominently reports both the original derivation and the downgrade +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 5.2 +- **Setup**: `release.allow_major_pre_1` is enabled +- **Do**: the automatic cut derives a major bump on a pre-1.0 version +- **Observe**: the major bump is applied as derived +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 5.3 +- **Setup**: the current version is 1.0.0 or above +- **Do**: a major bump is derived +- **Observe**: the guard does not apply and the bump proceeds unchanged +- [ ] Pass + +### US-6: Ship never blocked by a failed cut + +*Independent test:* When the post-merge cut fails for any reason, the ship still completes successfully with the merge and main push intact, and the failure is surfaced as a warning telling the developer how to cut on demand. + +#### Step 6.1 +- **Setup**: the PR is merged and main is fast-forwarded +- **Do**: the automatic cut fails at any point +- **Observe**: the ship completes with a clear warning, the merge is never reverted, and main is left in its pushed state +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 6.2 +- **Setup**: a cut failure warning +- **Do**: the developer reads the ship output +- **Observe**: it identifies what failed and states that /metta-release can be run on demand to cut the release manually +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 6.3 +- **Setup**: the release step runs in a fork or main-session skill context +- **Do**: it invokes release status and release cut +- **Observe**: the guard/mint scoping authorizes those calls, so the failure posture is only exercised for genuine cut errors rather than authorization gaps +- [ ] Pass + +## Additional scenarios + +#### Step 7.1: Valid semver config accepted +- **Setup**: a release config specifying scheme `semver`, version file `package.json`, tag prefix `v`, and GitHub release opt-in `false` +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: Zod validation passes and the parsed config exposes those keys with those values +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.2: Unsupported scheme rejected with key named +- **Setup**: a release config specifying scheme `calver` +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: Zod validation fails and the error message names the scheme key and states that only `semver` is supported +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.3: Malformed version-file path rejected +- **Setup**: a release config whose version-file value is an empty string +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: Zod validation fails and the error message names the version-file key +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.4: Defaults applied for omitted optional keys +- **Setup**: a release config that specifies only scheme and version-file location +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: the tag prefix defaults to `v`, the GitHub-release opt-in defaults to disabled, `on_ship` defaults to `auto`, and `allow_major_pre_1` defaults to `false` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.5: Explicit on_ship values accepted +- **Setup**: a release config setting `on_ship` to each of `auto`, `prompt`, and `off` in turn +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: Zod validation passes for all three values and the parsed config exposes the chosen mode +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.6: Invalid on_ship value rejected with key named +- **Setup**: a release config setting `on_ship: always` +- **Do**: the config is loaded +- **Observe**: Zod validation fails and the error message names the `release.on_ship` key and the allowed values +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.7: Install scaffolds on_ship explicitly +- **Setup**: a project being initialized via `metta install` with release configuration +- **Do**: the project config is scaffolded (Run: `metta install`) +- **Observe**: the written config contains an explicit `release.on_ship: auto` key, mirroring the `uat.enforce_on_ship` scaffolding pattern +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.8: Cut runs after merge and rebuild in auto mode +- **Setup**: a project with `release.on_ship: auto` (explicit or defaulted) and a ship-path skill that has completed the user-approved PR merge, main fast-forward, and rebuild +- **Do**: the skill continues past the rebuild (Run: `metta release status`, `metta release cut --yes`) +- **Observe**: it runs `metta release status`, derives the bump from the unreleased shipped changes, and invokes `metta release cut --yes` with the derived bump, producing a release commit and annotated tag on main +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.9: No release activity at PR-open hand-back +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: auto` and a `metta-propose` run that ends at "PR opened, awaiting review" without a merge +- **Do**: the skill hands back to the user (Run: `release status`, `release cut`) +- **Observe**: no `release status`, no bump derivation, and no `release cut` has run, and no tag or release commit exists for the change +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.10: Ship output reports the released version +- **Setup**: a ship-path cut that succeeds and produces version `0.7.0` +- **Do**: the ship step reports completion +- **Observe**: the output states that `0.7.0` was released so the developer knows exactly what was cut +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.11: All six ship paths carry the flow +- **Setup**: each of `metta-ship`, `metta-propose` (ship opt-in), `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, and `metta-fix-gap` completes a user-approved merge with `release.on_ship: auto` +- **Do**: each skill's post-merge sequence executes +- **Observe**: each runs the identical status → derive → cut flow after the main fast-forward + rebuild +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.12: GitHub release created only after the tag is pushed +- **Setup**: an automatic cut on ship with `release.github_release: true` +- **Do**: the release step executes +- **Observe**: the local cut runs without `--github`, the tag reaches the remote via `--follow-tags` on the authorized main push, and only then is the GitHub release created against the already-pushed tag +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.13: Absent gh degrades gracefully +- **Setup**: the `gh` CLI is not installed or is unauthenticated +- **Do**: the ship-step sequence reaches the GitHub-release step +- **Observe**: the version file, changelog, release commit, annotated tag, and tag push all still land, and the skill warns that the GitHub release was skipped and why +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.14: Tag-not-on-remote race structurally impossible +- **Setup**: the fixed sequencing compared against the v0.5.0/v0.6.0 failure mode +- **Do**: a ship-triggered cut executes end to end +- **Observe**: the GitHub-release step cannot run before the tag exists on the remote, because it is ordered after the push rather than inside the cut +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.15: No force push and no second unconfirmed push +- **Setup**: a ship-step cut whose tag must reach the remote +- **Do**: the push executes +- **Observe**: it is the single user-authorized main push with `--follow-tags` appended — no `--force`, and no additional push is issued without user confirmation +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.16: GitHub opt-in disabled means no gh invocation +- **Setup**: `release.github_release: false` (or the key omitted, defaulting to disabled) +- **Do**: a ship-step cut completes and the push lands +- **Observe**: no `gh` command is executed and the local release stands on its own +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.17: Interactive prompt reports count and bump before asking +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: prompt` in an interactive session with three unreleased changes recommending a minor bump +- **Do**: a ship-path skill reaches the post-merge release step +- **Observe**: it reports "3 unreleased changes, recommended bump: minor" (or equivalent) and asks the developer whether to cut before touching any file +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.18: Confirmation proceeds identically to auto +- **Setup**: the developer confirms the prompt +- **Do**: the cut proceeds +- **Observe**: it uses the same `ReleasePipeline` invocation, cut-then-push-then-GitHub sequencing, and `--follow-tags` behavior as `auto` mode +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.19: Decline leaves the backlog for on-demand release +- **Setup**: the developer declines the prompt +- **Do**: the ship completes +- **Observe**: no cut occurs, no tag is created, and the shipped change remains counted as unreleased for a later `/metta-release` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.20: Non-interactive context fails closed with loud notice +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: prompt` in a non-interactive context where no answer can be collected +- **Do**: the ship reaches the release step +- **Observe**: the cut is skipped, the ship still completes, and a loud notice states that the release was skipped because prompt mode could not ask +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.21: Off mode ships without any release mutation +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: off` +- **Do**: a ship-path skill completes the merge and main push +- **Observe**: no release mutation occurs (no cut, no push, no GitHub release), no bump derivation is applied, and releasing remains fully on-demand via `/metta-release` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.22: Off mode leaves surrounding ship behavior untouched +- **Setup**: `release.on_ship: off` +- **Do**: the ship completes +- **Observe**: tokens, UAT enforcement, and gates behave exactly as they did before the on-ship release capability existed +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.23: Ship without release config skips with one-line notice +- **Setup**: a project with no `release` key in its config +- **Do**: a ship-path skill completes the merge and main push +- **Observe**: the release step is skipped with a single-line notice that release config is absent, the ship exits successfully, and no version read, cut, or tag occurs +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.24: Absent config skip is not a ship blocker +- **Setup**: a project with no release configuration +- **Do**: the ship-path release step is reached +- **Observe**: the skip is reported as informational — not as an error — and the ship outcome (merge, push, archive) is identical to a ship on a fully released project +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.25: Release command without config fails actionably +- **Setup**: a project with no release configuration +- **Do**: the user invokes the release command directly +- **Observe**: the command exits with an error stating that release config is missing and naming the keys required to enable it, and no files are modified +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.26: Skip paths leave tokens UAT and gates untouched +- **Setup**: either skip path (absent config, or `on_ship: off`) +- **Do**: the ship completes +- **Observe**: token accounting, UAT generation and enforcement, and gate execution behave exactly as before — the release step touches none of them +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.27: Pre-1.0 major downgraded to minor with prominent report +- **Setup**: the current version is `0.6.0`, `release.allow_major_pre_1` is not set, and the shipped changes derive a `major` bump +- **Do**: the automatic cut runs +- **Observe**: the applied bump is `minor` (yielding `0.7.0`, not `1.0.0`) and the ship output prominently reports that a major was derived and downgraded because the project is pre-1.0 +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.28: Escape hatch restores the major bump +- **Setup**: `release.allow_major_pre_1: true` on a version below `1.0.0` +- **Do**: the automatic cut derives a major bump +- **Observe**: the major bump is applied as derived +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.29: Guard inert at 1.0.0 and above +- **Setup**: the current version is `1.2.0` +- **Do**: a major bump is derived by the on-ship flow +- **Observe**: the guard does not apply and the bump proceeds unchanged to `2.0.0` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.30: Failed cut never unwinds the merge +- **Setup**: the PR is merged and main is fast-forwarded +- **Do**: the automatic cut fails at any step (network, gh outage, pipeline error, dirty tree) +- **Observe**: the ship completes successfully with a warning, the merge is never reverted, and main remains in its pushed state +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.31: Warning names the failure and the on-demand remedy +- **Setup**: a cut failure during the ship-step release flow +- **Do**: the developer reads the ship output +- **Observe**: the warning identifies which step failed and states that the release can be cut later on demand via `/metta-release` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.32: Ship-step cut goes through the existing pipeline +- **Setup**: an automatic cut triggered by a ship-path skill +- **Do**: the cut executes +- **Observe**: it invokes the same `ReleasePipeline.cut` code path and bump-derivation rules as `/metta-release`, with no second cut implementation in the codebase +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.33: On-demand release keeps working with fixed sequencing +- **Setup**: a developer running `/metta-release` on demand +- **Do**: a cut with GitHub publication is performed +- **Observe**: the release completes using the same pipeline and the GitHub release is created only after the tag is on the remote +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.34: Fork-context ship path is authorized to cut +- **Setup**: a ship-path skill running in a forked `metta-skill-host` subagent reaches the post-merge release step +- **Do**: it issues `metta release status` and `metta release cut --yes` (Run: `metta release status`, `metta release cut --yes`) +- **Observe**: the guard permits both calls and the cut proceeds without an authorization failure +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.35: Main-session ship path is authorized to cut +- **Setup**: a ship-path skill executing in the main session (e.g. `metta-ship`) reaches the post-merge release step +- **Do**: it issues the `release cut` call (Run: `release cut`) +- **Observe**: the guard authorizes it via the session-tier credential path, so the warn-and-continue posture is exercised only for genuine cut errors, never authorization gaps +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.36: Unauthorized direct invocation still blocked +- **Setup**: an AI orchestrator session that has invoked no release-authorizing skill +- **Do**: it attempts `metta release cut` via Bash (Run: `metta release cut`) +- **Observe**: the `metta-guard-bash` hook blocks the call before execution, exactly as before this change +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.37: No other command scope widened +- **Setup**: the guard and mint hooks after this change +- **Do**: any non-release mutating command is attempted from a context that was previously unauthorized for it (Run: `release cut`) +- **Observe**: it is still blocked — the scoping extension covers only the ship-path `release cut` invocation +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.38: Ship skill wording carries the release stage in order +- **Setup**: the `metta-ship` skill template after this change +- **Do**: its ship-step instructions are read +- **Observe**: the post-merge release flow appears after the merge/fast-forward/rebuild instructions and before hand-back, including mode handling and the warn-and-continue posture +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.39: Run-to-merge skills carry the same stage +- **Setup**: the `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, and `metta-fix-gap` skill templates and the `metta-propose` ship opt-in path +- **Do**: each template's post-merge section is read +- **Observe**: each documents the same release flow with the same ordering constraint (post-merge only, never at PR-open) +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.40: All six ship-path skills asserted +- **Setup**: the grep-assert test suite for skill content +- **Do**: it runs against the built skill templates +- **Observe**: it asserts the presence of the post-merge release step in each of `metta-ship`, `metta-propose`, `metta-quick`, `metta-auto`, `metta-fix-issues`, and `metta-fix-gap` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.41: Removing the step from one skill fails the tests +- **Setup**: the post-merge release step is deleted from one ship-path skill file +- **Do**: the grep-assert tests run +- **Observe**: the test for that skill fails, naming the file missing the release step +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.42: Release created only after the tag is on the remote +- **Setup**: `release.github_release: true` and a ship-path release step whose local cut has completed +- **Do**: the authorized main push with `--follow-tags` lands the tag on the remote and the publication step runs +- **Observe**: the skill probes `gh release view `, finds no existing release, and runs `gh release create --verify-tag --notes-file -` with the version's changelog section as the notes body — and no `gh` command ran at any earlier point in the flow +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.43: Removed --github flag errors with a pointer to the fixed sequence +- **Setup**: a caller invoking `metta release cut --github` +- **Do**: the command is parsed (Run: `metta release cut --github`) +- **Observe**: it exits with an error stating that `--github` has been removed and pointing to the cut → push → publish sequence, and no version file, changelog, commit, tag, or `gh` invocation occurs +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.44: Idempotent probe skips an already-published release +- **Setup**: a re-run of the publication step for a tag whose GitHub release already exists +- **Do**: the skill probes `gh release view ` (Run: `gh release create`) +- **Observe**: the probe finds the existing release, `gh release create` is not invoked, and the step completes without error or duplicate release +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.45: cut --json supplies the notes body +- **Setup**: a cut of version `0.7.0` invoked as `metta release cut --yes --json` +- **Do**: the cut completes (Run: `metta release cut --yes --json`) +- **Observe**: the JSON output includes the extracted changelog-section notes string for `0.7.0`, so the skill passes it to `--notes-file -` without re-parsing `docs/changelog.md` +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.46: On-demand release confirms the push before publishing +- **Setup**: `release.github_release: true` and a developer running `/metta-release` on demand +- **Do**: the local cut completes (Run: `git push --follow-tags origin main`) +- **Observe**: the skill asks for explicit per-run confirmation before running `git push --follow-tags origin main`, and only after that push lands does it run the same probe-then-create publication step +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.47: Missing gh binary warns with the manual command and the ship continues +- **Setup**: `release.github_release: true` and `gh` is not installed on PATH +- **Do**: a ship-path release step reaches the post-push publication step +- **Observe**: the release commit, annotated tag, and tag push all stand, the skill warns that `gh` was not found and reports the exact `gh release create --verify-tag` command to run manually, and the ship completes successfully with the merge and main push untouched +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.48: Failed gh release create warns and continues, re-runnable later +- **Setup**: `gh` is installed and authenticated but `gh release create --verify-tag` fails (e.g. API outage or transient error) +- **Do**: the publication step handles the failure +- **Observe**: the skill warns naming the create failure, the ship (or on-demand release) completes without any rollback of the local release or pushed tag, and a later run of the publication step probes `gh release view `, finds no release, and publishes it for the same tag without re-cutting +- [ ] Pass + +#### Step 7.49: Unauthenticated gh degrades the on-demand release the same way +- **Setup**: `gh` is installed but unauthenticated and a developer runs `/metta-release` with `release.github_release: true` +- **Do**: the confirmed push lands and the publication step runs +- **Observe**: the local release and pushed tag succeed, the warning identifies the authentication problem and how to authenticate and retry publication, and the on-demand release completes rather than failing +- [ ] Pass diff --git a/spec/changes/automatic-version-cut-ship-user-decision-2026-08-26-make/design.md
